Enhanced Thermal Conductivity

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.

Insulating Properties

Abstract Thermally conductive materials with electrically insulating properties have been extensively investigated for thermal management of electronic devices. The combined properties of high thermal conductivity, structural stability, corrosion resistance and electric resistivity make hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) a promising candidate for this purpose. Theoretical studies have revealed that h-BN has a high in-plane thermal conductivity up to 400 - 800 W m−1 K−1 at room temperature. However, it is still a big challenge to achieve high thermally conductive h-BN thick films that are commercially feasible due to its poor mechanical properties. On the other hand, many polymers exhibit advantages for flexibility. Thus, combining the merits of polymer and the high thermal conductivity of h-BN particles is considered as a promising solution for this issue. In this work, orientated PVP/h-BN films were prepared by electrospinning and a subsequent mechanical pressing process. With the optimized h-BN loading, a PVP/h-BN composite film with up to 22 W m−1 K−1 and 0.485 W m−1 K−1 for in-plane and through-plane thermal conductivity can be achieved, respectively. We believe this work can help accelerate the development of h-BN for thermal management applications.
