Abstract
Thermally conductive polymeric composites are promising for heat management in microelectronic devices. This work presents a binary-hybrid composite of boron nitride (BN) nanoparticles and micro-diamond (D) fillers in an elastomeric polyurethane (PU) matrix which can be three- dimensionally printed to produce a highly flexible and self-supporting structure. The research shows that a combination of 16.7 wt% BN and 16.7 wt% D results in a robust network within the polymer matrix to improve the tensile modulus more than nine times with respect to neat PU. Significantly, the hybrid matrix enhances the thermal conductivity by more than two times when compared to neat PU. The enhancement in mechanical, and thermal features make this three-dimensional printable multiscale hybrid composite suitable for flexible and stretchable microelectronic applications.

Abstract
In order to improve the thermal conductivity of 30 wt % synthetic graphite (SG)-filled polyketones (POKs), conductive fillers such as multiwall carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and hexagonal boron nitride (BN) were used in this study. Individual and synergistic effects of CNTs and BN on 30 wt % synthetic graphite-filled POK on thermal conductivity were investigated. 1, 2, and 3 wt % CNT loading enhanced the in-plane and through-plane thermal conductivities of POK-30SG by 42, 82, and 124% and 42, 94, and 273%, respectively. 1, 2, and 3 wt % BN loadings enhanced the in-plane thermal conductivity of POK-30SG by 25, 69, and 107% and through-plane thermal conductivity of POK-30SG by 92, 135, and 325%. It was observed that while CNT shows more efficient in-plane thermal conductivity than BN, BN shows more efficient through-plane thermal conductivity. The electrical conductivity value of POK-30SG-1.5BN-1.5CNT was obtained to be 1.0 × 10-5 S/cm, the value of which is higher than that of POK-30SG-1CNT and lower than that of POK-30SG-2CNT. While BN loading led to a higher heat deflection temperature (HDT) than CNT loading, the hybrid fillers of BNT and CNT led to the highest HDT value. Moreover, BN loading led to higher flexural strength and Izod-notched impact strength values than CNT loading.

Abstract
Polymer composites having high thermal conductivity (TC) gained great interest, including the advancement of electronic devices to become more functionalized, scaled, and integrated. In view of these, herein, highly thermal conductive polyurethane (PU)-/SiC composites are fabricated via the solution casting method. Silicon carbide is used as the filler in both flexible and rigid-polyurethane matrices to enhance the value of TC for electronic applications. A novel model has also been developed based on the Coran-Patel model for analysis and comparison of TC of as-synthesized composites. Calculated thermal conductivities by the model are found to be consistent with the experimental results. The highest measured TC for flexible as well as rigid-PU composites is 0.521 and 0.542 Wm-1K-1 representing improvements of 106% and 87% over their pure equivalents, respectively. SEM and DSC techniques are employed to analyze the samples' morphology, and other thermal properties, respectively.

Thermal Conductivity and Mechanical Properties of Polymer Composites with Hexagonal Boron Nitride-A Comparison of Three Processing Methods: Injection Moulding, Powder Bed Fusion and Casting.

Abstract
Materials providing heat dissipation and electrical insulation are required for many electronic and medical devices. Polymer composites with hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) may fulfil such requirements. The focus of this study is to compare composites with hBN fabricated by injection moulding (IM), powder bed fusion (PBF) and casting. The specimens were characterised by measuring thermal conductivity, tensile properties, hardness and hBN particle orientation. A thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) was selected as the matrix for IM and PBF, and an epoxy was the matrix for casting. The maximum filler weight fractions were 65%, 55% and 40% for IM, casting and PBF, respectively. The highest thermal conductivity (2.1 W/m∙K) was measured for an IM specimen with 65 wt% hBN. However, cast specimens had the highest thermal conductivity for a given hBN fraction. The orientation of hBN platelets in the specimens was characterised by X-ray diffraction and compared with numerical simulations. The measured thermal conductivities were discussed by comparing them with four models from the literature (the effective medium approximation model, the Ordóñez-Miranda model, the Sun model, and the Lewis-Nielsen model). These models predicted quite different thermal conductivities vs. filler fraction. Adding hBN increased the hardness and tensile modulus, and the tensile strength at high hBN fractions. The strength had a minimum as the function of filler fraction, while the strain at break decreased. These trends can be explained by two mechanisms which occur when adding hBN: reinforcement and embrittlement.

Abstract
Recently, the use of fused deposition modeling (FDM) in the three-dimensional (3D) printing of thermal interface materials (TIMs) has garnered increasing attention. Because fillers orient themselves along the direction of the melt flow during printing, this method could effectively enhance the thermal conductivity of existing composite materials. However, the poor compatibility and intensive aggregation of h-BN fillers in polymer composites are still detrimental to their practical application in thermally conductive materials. In this study, hydroxyl-functionalized boron nitride (OH-BN) particles were prepared by chemical modification and ultrasonic-assisted liquid-phase exfoliation to explore their impact on the surface compatibility, mechanical properties and the final anisotropic thermal conductivity of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) composites fabricated by FDM printing. The results show that the surface-functionalized OH-BN fillers are homogeneously dispersed in the TPU matrix via hydrogen bonding interactions, which improve the interfacial adhesion between the filler and matrix. For the same concentration of loaded filler, the OH-BN/TPU composites exhibit better mechanical properties and thermal conductivities than composites incorporating non-modified h-BN. These composites also show higher heat conduction along the stand-vertical direction, while simultaneously exhibiting a low dielectric constant and dielectric loss. This work therefore provides a possible strategy for the fabrication of thermal management polymers using 3D-printing methods.

Abstract
Although hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is a thermally conductive and electrically insulating filler in composite materials, surface modification remains difficult, which limits its dispersibility and functionalization. In this study, carbon layer formation on hBN particles by plasma processing in hydroquinone aqueous solution was investigated as a surface modification technique. Carbon components with features of polymeric hydrogenated amorphous carbon were found to be uniformly distributed on the hydroquinone-aided plasma-modified hBN (HQpBN) particles. Electron spin resonance measurements revealed abundant unpaired electrons in HQpBN, indicating that defects were formed on hBN by plasma processing and that the carbon layer contained dangling bonds. The defects on hBN could help in the attachment of the carbon layer, whereas the dangling bonds could act as reactive sites for further functionalization. The carbon layer on HQpBN was successfully functionalized with isocyanate groups, thus confirming the ability of this carbon layer to facilitate surface modification. These results demonstrate that the carbon layer formed on hBN can provide a designable interface in organic/inorganic composite materials.

Abstract
The demand for thermally conductive but electrically insulating materials has increased greatly in advanced electronic packaging. To this end, polymer-based composites filled with boron nitride (BN) nanosheets have been intensively studied as thermal interface material (TIM). However, it remains a great challenge to achieve isotropically ultrahigh thermal conductivity in BN/polymer composites due to the inherent thermal property anisotropy of BN nanosheets and/or the insufficient construction of the 3D thermal conductive network. Herein, we present a high-performance BN/polymer composite with a biaxially oriented thermal conductive network by a dendritic ice template. The composite exhibits both ultrahigh in-plane (∼39.0 W m-1 K-1) and through-plane thermal conductivity (∼11.5 W m-1 K-1) at 80 vol % BN loading, largely exceeding those of reported BN/polymer composites. In addition, our composite as a TIM shows higher cooling efficiency than that of commercial TIM with up to 15 °C reduction of the chip temperature and retains good thermal stability even after 1000 heating/cooling cycles. Our strategy represents an effective approach for developing advanced thermal interface materials, which are greatly demanded for advanced electronics and emerging areas like wearable electronics.

Improving Thermal Conductivity of Injection Molded Polycarbonate/Boron Nitride Composites by Incorporating Spherical Alumina Particles: The Influence of Alumina Particle Size.

Abstract
In this work, the influences of alumina (Al2O3) particle size and loading concentration on the properties of injection molded polycarbonate (PC)/boron nitride (BN)/Al2O3 composites were systematically studied. Results indicated that both in-plane and through-plane thermal conductivity of the ternary composites were significantly improved with the addition of spherical Al2O3 particles. In addition, the thermal conductivity of polymer composites increased significantly with increasing Al2O3 concentration and particle size, which were related to the following factors: (1) the presence of spherical Al2O3 particles altered the orientation state of flaky BN fillers that were in close proximity to Al2O3 particles (as confirmed by SEM observations and XRD analysis), which was believed crucial to improving the through-plane thermal conductivity of injection molded samples; (2) the presence of Al2O3 particles increased the filler packing density by bridging the uniformly distributed BN fillers within PC substrate, thereby leading to a significant enhancement of thermal conductivity. The in-plane and through-plane thermal conductivity of PC/50 μm-Al2O3 40 wt%/BN 20 wt% composites reached as high as 2.95 and 1.78 W/mK, which were 1183% and 710% higher than those of pure PC, respectively. The prepared polymer composites exhibited reasonable mechanical performance, and excellent electrical insulation properties and processability, which showed potential applications in advanced engineering fields that require both thermal conduction and electrical insulation properties.

Abstract
Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) has recently gained much attention due to its high thermal conductivity and low electrical conductivity. In this study, we proposed to evaluate the impact of the modification of h-BN for use in a polymethylmethacrylate/polyamide 6 (PMMA/PA6) polymer blend. Different methods to modify h-BN particles and improve their affinity with polymers were proposed. The modification was performed in two steps: (1) a hydroxylation step for which three different routes were used: calcination, acidic treatment, and ball milling using gallic acid; (2) a grafting step for which four different silane agents were used, carrying different molecular or macromolecular groups: the octadecyl group (Si-C18), propyl amine group (Si-NH2), polystyrene chain (Si-PS), and PMMA chain (Si-PMMA). The modified h-BN samples after hydroxylation and functionalization were characterized by FTIR and TGA. Py-GC/MS was also used to prove the successful graft with Si-C18 groups. Sedimentation tests and multiple light scattering were performed to assess the surface modification of h-BN. Granulometry and SEM observations were performed to evaluate the particle size distribution after hydroxylation. After the addition of Si-PMMA modified h-BN into a PMMA/PA6 co-continuous blend, the morphology of the polymer blend nanocomposites was characterized using SEM. The calculation of the wetting parameter based on the surface tension measurement using the liquid drop model showed that h-BN dispersed in the PA6 phase. Grafting PMMA chains onto hydroxylated h-BN particles combined with an adequate sequence mixing led to a successful localization of the grafted h-BN particles at the interface of the PMMA/PA6 blend.

Abstract
Extrusion-based three-dimensional (3D) printing techniques usually exhibit anisotropic thermal, mechanical, and electric properties due to the shearing-induced alignment during extrusion. However, the transformation from the extrusion to stacking process is always neglected and its influence on the final properties remains ambiguous. In this work, we adopt two different sized boron nitride (BN) sheets, namely, small-sized BN (S-BN) and large-sized BN (L-BN), to explore their impact on the orientation degree, morphology, and final anisotropic thermal conductivity (TC) of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) composites by fused deposition modeling. The transformation from one-dimensional axial alignment in the extruded filament to two-dimensional alignment (horizontal and vertical alignment) in the stacking filament of BN sheets is observed, and its impact on anisotropic TC in three directions is clarified. It is found that L-BN/TPU composites show a high TC of 6.45 W m-1 K-1 at 60 wt % BN content along the printing direction, while at a lower content (<40 wt %), S-BN/TPU composites exhibit a higher TC than L-BN/TPU composites. Effects of orientation, viscosity, and voids are comprehensively considered to elucidate such differences. Finally, heat dissipation tests demonstrate the great potential of 3D printed BN/TPU composites to be used in thermal management applications.

Abstract
Abstract
In this paper, we discussed the characteristics and properties of polypropylene (PP)/magnesium oxide (MgO) composites prepared by melt compounding. In addition, we also discussed the effect of adding vapor-grown carbon fiber (VGCF) to PP/MgO composite on the properties of the composites. The thermal conductivity of PP/MgO increased with MgO content. In the region of MgO content of more than 30 vol%, the thermal conductivity of PP/MgO with MgO-10 (particle size of 10 μm) is the largest by comparison of other PP/MgO with different MgO sizes. The thermal conductivity of PP/MgO became increased by adding VGCF in PP/MgO. According to the estimation of thermal conductivity using Bruggeman’s equation, no synergistic effect was observed by adding VGCF into the PP/MgO composite. The surface resistance of PP/MgO significantly decreased by adding VGCF at a content of more than 3 vol%. At VGCF content of 1 vol%, the surface resistance of the composite became large, and the value was more than 109 Ω/sq. In addition, the Non-Newtonian property of PP/MgO composite melt was enhanced by the addition of VGCF into the composite.

Abstract
Nowadays, boron nitride (BN) has attracted a great deal of attention due to its physical and chemical properties, such as high-temperature resistance, oxidation resistance, heat conduction, electrical insulation, and neutron absorption. The unique lamellar, reticular, and tubular morphologies and physicochemical properties of BN make it attractive in the fields of adsorption, catalysis, hydrogen storage, thermal conduction, insulation, dielectric substrate of electronic devices, radiation protection, polymer composites, medicine, etc. Based on this, we propose a novel method to produce boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs) by a two-step method. The structure and morphology of the prepared BNNSs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, XRD, FTIR, etc. The results showed that the prepared BNNSs had high crystallinity and the stripping efficiency of h-BN as well as the performance and yield of BNNSs had been improved, and the cost and environmental pollution of BNNS preparation had been reduced accordingly.

Abstract
Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) and exfoliated nanosheets (BNNs) not only resemble their carbon counterparts graphite and graphene nanosheets in structural configurations and many excellent materials characteristics, especially the ultra-high thermal conductivity, but also offer other unique properties such as being electrically insulating and extreme chemical stability and oxidation resistance even at elevated temperatures. In fact, BNNs as a special class of 2-D nanomaterials have been widely pursued for technological applications that are beyond the reach of their carbon counterparts. Highlighted in this article are significant recent advances in the development of more effective and efficient exfoliation techniques for high-quality BNNs, the understanding of their characteristic properties, and the use of BNNs in polymeric nanocomposites for thermally conductive yet electrically insulating materials and systems. Major challenges and opportunities for further advances in the relevant research field are also discussed.

Abstract
The exfoliation of two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets (h-BNNSs) from bulk hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) materials has received intense interest owing to their fascinating physical, chemical, and biological properties. Numerous exfoliation techniques offer scalable approaches for harvesting single-layer or few-layer h-BNNSs. Their structure is very comparable to graphite, and they have numerous significant applications owing to their superb thermal, electrical, optical, and mechanical performance. Exfoliation from bulk stacked h-BN is the most cost-effective way to obtain large quantities of few layer h-BN. Herein, numerous methods have been discussed to achieve the exfoliation of h-BN, each with advantages and disadvantages. Herein, we describe the existing exfoliation methods used to fabricate single-layer materials. Besides exfoliation methods, various functionalization methods, such as covalent, non-covalent, and Lewis acid-base approaches, including physical and chemical methods, are extensively described for the preparation of several h-BNNS derivatives. Moreover, the unique and potent characteristics of functionalized h-BNNSs, like enhanced solubility in water, improved thermal conductivity, stability, and excellent biocompatibility, lead to certain extensive applications in the areas of biomedical science, electronics, novel polymeric composites, and UV photodetectors, and these are also highlighted.

Abstract
The development of highly thermally conductive composites with excellent electrical insulation has attracted extensive attention, which is of great significance to solve the increasingly severe heat concentration issue of electronic equipment. Herein, we report a new strategy to prepare boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs) via an ion-assisted liquid-phase exfoliation method. Then, silver nanoparticle (AgNP) modified BNNS (BNNS@Ag) was obtained by in situ reduction properties. The exfoliation yield of BNNS was approximately 50% via the ion-assisted liquid-phase exfoliation method. Subsequently, aramid nanofiber (ANF)/BNNS@Ag composites were prepared by vacuum filtration. Owing to the "brick-and-mortar" structure formed inside the composite and the adhesion of AgNP, the interfacial thermal resistance was effectively reduced. Therefore, the in-plane thermal conductivity of ANF/BNNS@Ag composites was as high as 11.51 W m-1 K-1, which was 233.27% higher than that of pure ANF (3.45 W m-1 K-1). The addition of BNNS@Ag maintained tensile properties (tensile strength of 129.14 MPa). Moreover, the ANF/BNNS@Ag films also had good dielectric properties and the dielectric constant was below 2.5 (103 Hz). Hence, the ANF/BNNS@Ag composite shows excellent thermal management performance, and the electrical insulation and mechanical properties of the matrix are retained, indicating its potential application prospects in high pressure and high temperature application environments.

Abstract
Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) nanostructures are well-known for their good chemical stability, thermal conductivity and high elastic modulus. BN can be used as a filler in hydrogels to significantly improve their mechanical and thermal properties, to reinforce their biocompatibility and to provide self-healing capacity. Moreover, in contrast with their carbon equivalents, BN nanocomposites are transparent and electrically insulating. Herein, we present an overview of BN-based nanocomposite hydrogels. First, the properties of h-BN are described, as well as common exfoliation and functionalization techniques employed to obtain BN nanosheets. Then, methods for preparing BN-nanocomposite hydrogels are explained, followed by a specific overview of the relationship between the composition and structure of the nanocomposites and the functional properties. Finally, the main properties of these materials are discussed in view of the thermal, mechanical, and self-healing properties, along with the potential applications in tissue engineering, thermal management, drug delivery and water treatment.

Abstract
Waterborne polyurethane-acrylate (WPUA) is a promising eco-friendly material for adhesives and coatings such as paints and inks on substrates including fibers, leather, paper, rubber, and wood. Recently, WPUA and its composites have been studied to overcome severe problems such as poor water resistance, mechanical properties, chemical resistance, and thermal stability. In this study, composite films consisting of WPUA and rod-type boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs), which have excellent intrinsic properties including high mechanical strength and chemical stability, were investigated. Specifically, BNNT/WPUA composite films were synthesized by mixing aqueous solutions of BNNT and WPUA via facile mechanical agitation without any organic solvents or additives, and the optimal content of BNNTs was determined. For the 2.5 wt% BNNT/WPUA composite, the BNNTs were found to be well distributed in the WPUA matrix and this material showed the overall best performance in terms of water resistance, thermal conductivity, and corrosion resistance. Owing to these advantageous properties and their environmentally friendly nature, BNNT/WPUA composite coating materials are expected to be applicable in a wide variety of industries.

Abstract
Thermal conductive polymer composites (filled type) consisting of thermal conductive fillers and a polymer matrix have been widely used in a range of areas. More than 10 strategies have been developed to improve the thermal conductivity of polymer composites. Here we report a new "hypergravity accumulation" strategy. Raw material mixtures of boron nitride/silicone rubber composites were treated in hypergravity fields (800-20,000 g, relative gravity acceleration) before heat-curing. A series of comparison studies were made. It was found that hypergravity treatments could efficiently improve the microstructures and thermal conductivity of the composites. When the hypergravity was about 20,000 g (relative gravity acceleration), the obtained spherical boron nitride/silicone rubber composites had highly compacted microstructures and high and isotropic thermal conductivity. The highest thermal conductivity reached 4.0 W/mK. Thermal interface application study showed that the composites could help to decrease the temperature on a light-emitting diode (LED) chip by 5 °C. The mechanism of the improved microstructure increased thermal conductivity, and the high viscosity problem in the preparation of boron nitride/silicone rubber composites, and the advantages and disadvantages of the hypergravity accumulation strategy, were discussed. Overall, this work has provided a new, efficient, and simple strategy to improve the thermal conductivity of boron nitride/silicone rubber and other polymer composites (filled type).

Abstract
In modern society, advanced technology has facilitated the emergence of multifunctional appliances, particularly, portable electronic devices, which have been growing rapidly. Therefore, flexible thermally conductive materials with the combination of properties like outstanding thermal conductivity, excellent electrical insulation, mechanical flexibility, and strong flame retardancy, which could be used to efficiently dissipate heat generated from electronic components, are the demand of the day. In this study, graphite fluoride, a derivative of graphene, was exfoliated into graphene fluoride sheets (GFS) via the ball-milling process. Then, a suspension of graphene oxide (GO) and GFSs was vacuum-filtrated to obtain a mixed mass, and subsequently, the mixed mass was subjected to reduction under the action hydrogen iodide at low temperature to transform the GO to reduced graphene oxide (rGO). Finally, a highly flexible and thermally conductive 30-μm thick GFS@rGO hybrid film was prepared, which showed an exceptional in-plane thermal conductivity (212 W·m-1·K-1) and an excellent electrical insulating property (a volume resistivity of 1.1 × 1011 Ω·cm). The extraordinary in-plane thermal conductivity of the GFS@rGO hybrid films was attributed to the high intrinsic thermal conductivity of the filler components and the highly ordered filler alignment. Additionally, the GFS@rGO films showed a tolerance to bending cycles and high-temperature flame. The tensile strength and Young's modulus of the GFS@rGO films increased with increasing the rGO content and reached a tensile strength of 69.3 MPa and a Young's modulus of 10.2 GPa at 20 wt % rGO. An experiment of exposing the films to high-temperature flame demonstrated that the GFS@rGO films could efficiently prevent fire spreading. The microcombustion calorimetry results indicated that the GFS@rGO had significantly lower heat release rate (HRR) compared to the GO film. The peak HRR of GFS@rGO10 was only 21 W·g-1 at 323 °C, while that of GO was 198 W·g-1 at 159 °C.

Abstract
Ideal dielectric materials for microelectronic devices should have high directionally tailored thermoconductivity with low dielectric constant and loss. Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) with excellent thermal and dielectric properties shows a promise for the fabrication of thermoconductive dielectric polymer composites. Herein, a simple method for the fabrication of lightweight polymer/hBN composites with high directionally tailored thermoconductivity and excellent dielectric properties is presented. The solid polymer/hBN composites are manufactured by melt-compounding and injection molding. The porous composites are successfully manufactured in an injection molding process through supercritical fluid (SCF) foaming. X-ray tomography provides direct visualization of the internal microstructure and hBN orientation, leading to an in-depth understanding of the directionally dependent thermoconductivity of the polymer/hBN composite. Shear-induced orientation of hBN platelets in the solid HDPE/hBN composites leads to a significant anisotropic thermal conductivity. The solid HDPE/23.2 vol % hBN composites show an in-plane thermoconductivity as high as 10.1 W m-1 K-1, whereas the through-plane thermoconductivity is limited to 0.28 W m-1 K-1. However, the generation of a porous structure via SCF foaming imparts in situ exfoliation, random orientation, and interconnectivity of hBN platelets within the polymer matrix. This results in highly isotropic thermoconductivity with higher bulk thermal conductivity in the lightweight porous composites as compared to their solid counterparts. Furthermore, the electrically insulating composites developed in this study exhibit low dielectric constant and ultralow dielectric loss. Thus, this study presents a simple fabrication method to develop lightweight dielectric materials with tailored thermal conductivity for modern electronics.

Abstract
The present work aims at studying the thermal and dielectric properties of addition-cure liquid silicone rubber (ALSR) matrix composites using boron nitride (BN) and aluminum nitride (AlN) as a hybrid thermal conductive filler. Composite samples with different filler contents were fabricated, and the density, thermal conductivity, thermal stability, dielectric properties, and volume resistivity of the samples were measured. According to the experimental results, the density, thermal conductivity, dielectric constant and dielectric loss tangent values all increased with the increasing addition of filler. When the weight fraction of hBN filler was 50 wt%, the thermal conductivity of composites was 0.554 W (m-1 K-1), which is 3.4 times higher than that of pure ALSR. The corresponding relative permittivity and dielectric loss were 3.98 and 0.0085 at 1 MHz, respectively. Furthermore, TGA results revealed that the AlN/BN hybrid filler could also improve the thermal stability of ALSR. The volume resistivity of ALSR composites was higher than that of pure ALSR. The addition of fillers improved the thermal properties of ALSR and had little effect on its insulation properties. This characteristic makes ALSR composites attractive in the field of insulating materials.

Abstract
The thermally conductive properties of silicone thermal grease enhanced by hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) nanosheets as a filler are relevant to the field of lightweight polymer-based thermal interface materials. However, the enhancements are restricted by the amount of hBN nanosheets added, owing to a dramatic increase in the viscosity of silicone thermal grease. To this end, a rational structural design of the filler is needed to ensure the viable development of the composite material. Using reduced graphene oxide (RGO) as substrate, three-dimensional (3D) heterostructured reduced graphene oxide-hexagonal boron nitride (RGO-hBN)-stacking material was constructed by self-assembly of hBN nanosheets on the surface of RGO with the assistance of binder for silicone thermal grease. Compared with hBN nanosheets, 3D RGO-hBN more effectively improves the thermally conductive properties of silicone thermal grease, which is attributed to the introduction of graphene and its phonon-matching structural characteristics. RGO-hBN/silicone thermal grease with lower viscosity exhibits higher thermal conductivity, lower thermal resistance and better thermal management capability than those of hBN/silicone thermal grease at the same filler content. It is feasible to develop polymer-based thermal interface materials with good thermal transport performance for heat removal of modern electronics utilising graphene-supported hBN as the filler at low loading levels.

Abstract
AbstractBoron nitride (BN) coated with sulfonated poly-arylene ether nitrile (SPEN) (BN@SPEN) was used as additive to enhance the thermal conductivity of polyarylene ether nitrile. BN@SPEN was prepared by coating BN micro-platelets with SPEN through ultrasonic technology combined with the post-treatment bonding process. The prepared BN@SPEN was characterized by FTIR, TGA, SEM and TEM, which confirmed the successful coating of BN micro-platelets. The obtained BN@SPEN was introduced into the PEN matrix to prepare composite films by a solution casting method. The compatibility between BN and PEN matrix was studied by using SEM observation and rheology measurement. Furthermore, thermal conductivity of BN@SPEN/PEN films were carefully characterized. Thermal conductivity of BN@SPEN/PEN films was increased to 0.69 W/(m⋅K) at 20 wt% content of BN@SPEN, having 138% increment comparing with pure PEN.

Abstract
In this study, the synergistic effect of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) with cubic boron nitride (c-BN) on enhancement of thermal conductivity of epoxy resin composites has been reported. The measured thermal conductivities of the epoxy composites filled with h-BN, c-BN and hybrid h-BN/c-BN compared with the theoretical predications of Agari's model strongly suggest that the combination of h-BN platelets and c-BN spherical particles with different sizes is beneficial to enhance the thermal conductivity of the polymer composites by preferentially forming 3D thermally conductive networks at low loading content. Furthermore, the small addition of gold nanoparticles enhances the thermal conductivity from 166% to 237%. The potential application of these composites for thermal management has been demonstrated by the surface temperature variations in real time during heating. The results demonstrate that such thermally conductive but electrically insulating polymer-based composites are highly desirable for thermal management applications. The synergistic effect of h-BN/c-BN/EP on the enhancement of thermal conductivity of polymeric composites has been demonstrated.![]()

Abstract
Boron nitride (BN) possesses excellent thermal conductivity and remarkable insulating properties. However, poor compatibility between BN fillers and a polymer matrix and the weak ultimate mechanical properties of polymer composites are still big challenges to industrial applications in the thermal conductive field. In this paper, the dispersion of BN in a polystyrene (PS) matrix can be improved through the surface modification of BN by introducing in situ dispersion of polystyrene. Subsequently, the selective localization of modified BN in the PS phase can be realized. A co-continuous structure of polymer blends is designed to enhance the thermal conductivity of PS by introducing another polypropylene (PP) phase. The co-continuous PS/PP (60/40, w/w) phases can benefit further enhancement of thermal conductivity of PS due to the selective localization of modified BN in the PS phase. Furthermore, the thermal conductivity of PS/PP blends with only 14.5 wt%-modified BN is 2 times higher than that of neat PP and 30% higher than that of PP/BN. Selective localization of BN in the polystyrene phase by in situ polymerization of styrene can enhance the thermal conductivity of polymer blends.![]()
