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.

The enhancement of thermally conductive performances for lightweight thermal interface materials is a long-term effort. The superb micro-structures of the thermal conductivity enhancer have an important impact on increasing thermal conductivity and decreasing thermal resistance. Here, globular flower-like reduced graphene oxide (GFRGO) is designed by the self-assembly of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) sheets, under the assistance of a binder via the spray-assisted method for silicone-based spherical alumina (S-Al2O3) composites. When the total filler content is fixed at 84 wt%, silicone-based S-Al2O3 composites with 1 wt% of GFRGO exhibit a much more significant increase in thermal conductivity, reduction in thermal resistance and reinforcement in thermal management capability than that of without graphene. Meanwhile, GFRGO is obviously superior to that of their RGO counterparts. Compared with RGO sheets, GFRGO spheres which are well-distributed between the S-Al2O3 fillers and well-dispersed in the matrix can build three-dimensional and isotropic thermally conductive networks more effectively with S-Al2O3 in the matrix, and this minimizes the thermal boundary resistance among components, owning to its structural characteristics. As with RGO, the introduction of GFRGO is helpful when decreasing the density of silicone-based S-Al2O3 composites. These attractive results suggest that the strategy opens new opportunities for fabricating practical, high-performance and light-weight filler-type thermal interface materials.
