This study developed a nano-size filler as a thermally conductive filler for a silicone thermal pad (STP) by exfoliating hexagonal-boron nitride ( h-BN) with the chemical exfoliation-free radical polymerization method to produce boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs). We used N,N-dimethylacrylamide as the intercalation agent. After polymerization, it became poly( N,N-dimethylacrylamide) to exfoliate the h-BN layer. BNNSs were taken as a single-filler and hybrid-fillers with Al2O3 and then compared with h-BN to investigate their effect on the silicone composite properties. As the free radical polymerization reaction time increased, the interlayer distance of BNNSs lengthened to 0.35 nm, while the thickness of h-BN sheets decreased. The X-ray diffractometer results showed how the h-BN (002) crystal plane was enhanced and displaced. The Fourier transform infrared spectra showed that the characteristic peaks of 1372 and 812 cm−1 were enhanced, and the Raman results showed that the E2 g displacement and full width at half maximum increased, thus validating the successful preparation of BNNSs. Based on the scanning electron microscope-transmission electron microscope results, BNNSs with 24-hour reaction time offered the best results with a thickness of 5 nm. The highest thermal conductivity reached 3.66 W m−1 K−1 with the addition of 50 wt% BNNSs, and tensile strength of up to 11.30 kg/cm2. Hybrid-fillers showed enhancement of thermal conductivity to 5.28 W m−1 K−1 and tensile strength to 7.32 kg cm−2. Finally, the STP showed that the volume resistance (>1010 Ω cm), withstand voltage (>10 kV mm−1), and flame resistance (V-0) of the STP prepared by this study comply with the industrial application specifications.

This study developed a silicone thermal pad with high thermal conductivity and high mechanical properties. Boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs) with different lamella thicknesses were prepared in Part I and Al2O3 was filled with silicone rubber to prepare silicone thermal pads. The silicone thermal pads were prepared using the Taguchi method and the elimination and choice translating reality method. BNNSs with different lamella thicknesses, BNNS loading level, and Al2O3 loading level were set as control factors for the experiment. The effect of the three sets of control factors on the thermal conductivity, tensile property, and hardness of the silicone thermal pads was discussed so as to determine the optimum product optimization process parameters. According to the experimental results, the optimum experimental combination was BNNSs with lamella thickness (B24), a BNNS loading level of 20 wt%, and an Al2O3 loading level of 60 wt%. The thermal conductivity of the silicone thermal pads prepared by thermosetting was 5.25 W/mK, the maximum tensile strength was 7.55 kg/cm2, and the Shore hardness was 65.2 (Shore A). Under identical conditions, the thermal conductivity and tensile strength were higher than that of commercially available silicone thermal pads by 34.48% and 20.26%, respectively. The control factor influencing the thermal conductivity and tensile strength of silicone thermal pads was the BNNS loading level, with contribution degrees of 34.66% and 50.13%, respectively. Accurate parameter settings could be obtained for silicone thermal pad processes.
