To improve the thermal conductivity of a composite material, the filler dispersion and the interfacial adhesion between the filler and the matrix are important factors. A number of methods for satisfying these criteria are presented herein. Thus, graphene oxide (GO) is incorporated to enhance the dispersion state of surface-modified boron nitride (BN) by increasing the viscosity of the epoxy matrix and by providing steric hindrance. Meanwhile, polysilazane (PSZ) coating and thermolysis were used to enhance the wettability by providing structural similarity between the coating material and the epoxy matrix. Due to these strategies, the thermal conductivity was improved by 253% compared to that of the neat epoxy at a filler fraction of 40 wt %.

Hexagonal boron nitride nanoplatelets (BNNPs) have attracted widespread attention due to their unique physical properties and their peeling from the base material. Mechanical exfoliation is a simple, scalable approach to produce single-layer or few-layer BNNPs. In this work, two amino acid grafted boron nitride nanoplatelets, Lys@BNNP and Glu@BNNP, were successfully prepared via ball milling of h-BN with L-Lysine and L-Glutamic acid, respectively. It was found that the dispersion state of Lys@BNNP and Glu@BNNP in water had been effectively stabilized due to the introduction of amino acid moieties which contained a hydrophilic carboxyl group. PVA hydrogel composites with Lys@BNNP and Glu@BNNP as functional fillers were constructed and extensively studied. With 11.3 wt% Lys@BNNP incorporated, the thermal conductivity of Lys@BNNP/PVA hydrogel composite was up to 0.91 W m−1K−1, increased by 78%, comparing to the neat PVA hydrogel. Meanwhile, the mechanical and self-healing properties of the composites were simultaneously largely enhanced.

Epoxy resin composites filled with thermally conductive but electrically insulating particles play an important role in the thermal management of modern electronic devices. Although many types of particles are used for this purpose, including oxides, carbides and nitrides, one of the most widely used fillers is boron nitride (BN). In this review we concentrate specifically on epoxy-BN composites for high thermal conductivity applications. First, the cure kinetics of epoxy composites in general, and of epoxy-BN composites in particular, are discussed separately in terms of the effects of the filler particles on cure parameters and the cured composite. Then, several fundamental aspects of epoxy-BN composites are discussed in terms of their effect on thermal conductivity. These aspects include the following: the filler content; the type of epoxy system used for the matrix; the morphology of the filler particles (platelets, agglomerates) and their size and concentration; the use of surface treatments of the filler particles or of coupling agents; and the composite preparation procedures, for example whether or not solvents are used for dispersion of the filler in the matrix. The dependence of thermal conductivity on filler content, obtained from over one hundred reports in the literature, is examined in detail, and an attempt is made to categorise the effects of the variables and to compare the results obtained by different procedures.

Graphene oxide (GO) usually serves as a reinforce phase in polymer because of its superior mechanical strength and high specific surface area. In this work, GO was grafted with L-lactic acid monomer (denoted as GO@PLLA) to overcome the aggregation in matrix and then incorporated into the poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) scaffold fabricated by selective laser sintering. In hybrid scaffold, GO@PLLA exhibited uniform dispersion in the matrix. Furthermore, mechanical interlock between GO@PLLA and PLLA matrix formed and reinforced the interface bonding. On the other hand, the heterogeneous distributed GO acted as effective nucleating agent and resultantly enhanced the crystallization. Results showed that the tensile and compressive strength of scaffolds increased by 143.3% and 127.6%, respectively. Meanwhile, the scaffold exhibited an increased degradation rate of 37.9%, which could be attributed to the abundant hydrophilic functional groups on GO. Moreover, the scaffold exhibited favorable bioactivity and biocompatibility. Herein, the developed hybrid scaffold showed potential capacity for bone tissue engineering.

A thermally conductive phase change material (PCM) was fabricated using polyethylene glycol (PEG) and boron nitride (BN). However, the interfacial adhesion between the BN and the PEG was poor, hindering efficient heat conduction. Grafting polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) onto the surface of BN and cross-linking due to hydrogen bonding between the hydroxyl groups in PVA and oxygen atoms in PEG improved the wettability of fillers. By employing this strategy, we achieved a thermal conductivity value of 0.89 W/mK, a 286% improvement compared to the thermal conductivity of the pristine PEG (0.23 W/mK). Although the latent heat of composites decreased due to the mobility of the polymer chain, the value was still reasonable for PCM applications.
