Technical lignin from pulping, an aromatic polymer with ~59% carbon content, was employed to develop novel lignin-based nano carbon thin film (LCF)-copper foil composite films for thermal management applications. A highly graphitized, nanoscale LCF (~80–100 nm in thickness) was successfully deposited on both sides of copper foil by spin coating followed by annealing treatment at 1000 °C in an argon atmosphere. The conditions of annealing significantly impacted the morphology and graphitization of LCF and the thermal conductivity of LCF-copper foil composite films. The LCF-modified copper foil exhibited an enhanced thermal conductivity of 478 W m−1 K−1 at 333 K, which was 43% higher than the copper foil counterpart. The enhanced thermal conductivity of the composite films compared with that of the copper foil was characterized by thermal infrared imaging. The thermal properties of the copper foil enhanced by LCF reveals its potential applications in the thermal management of advanced electronic products and highlights the potential high-value utility of lignin, the waste of pulping.

The application of phase change materials (PCMs) has been verified as an effective strategy for improving energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Biocomposite PCMs (Bc-PCM) exhibit large latent heat, chemical stability, and a wide temperature range. In this study, thermal conductivity improved Bc-PCM (TBc-PCM) was made via vacuum impregnation with graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs). Chemical stability analysis and thermal performance analyses of the Bc-PCM and TBc-PCM were carried out as well as building energy simulations and thermal comfort analyses. Our results show Bc-PCM showed a higher heat storage capacity and enthalpy value compared to TBc-PCM. TBc-PCM exhibited a 378% increase in thermal conductivity compared to Bc-PCM. Building energy simulation results revealed that annual heating and cooling energy consumption decreased as the thickness of the PCM layer increased. In addition, the Bc-PCM with a larger PCM capacity was more effective in reducing energy consumption during the heating period. On the other hand, the cooling energy reduction effect was greater when TBc-PCM with high thermal conductivity was applied because of the high heat transfer during the cooling period. Thermal comfort evaluation revealed it was more comfortable when PCM was applied.

Polymer-based composites with high thermal conductivity have great potential application as thermal management materials. This study was devoted to improving the thermal conductivity of the flexible thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) by employing boron nitride (BN) as heat filler. We prepared flexible and thermally conductive TPU/BN composite via solution mixing and hot pressing. The thermal conductivity of the TPU/BN composite with 50 wt% BN (32.6 vol%) reaches 3.06 W/m·K, approximately 1290% enhancement compared to that of pure TPU (0.22 W/m·K). In addition, the thermal conductivity of our flexible TPU/BN composite with 30 wt% BN is almost not varied (a decrease of only 2.5%) after 100 cycles of mechanical bending, which indicates the high stability of heat conduction of our flexible TPU/BN composite under mechanical bending. The maximum tensile strength of the TPU/BN composite with 5 wt% BN is 48.9 MPa, 14% higher than that of pure TPU (43.2 MPa). Our flexible and highly thermally conductive TPU/BN composites show promise for heat dissipation in various applications in the electronics field.
