Article Synopsis
  • Increased production of boron nitride nanotubes (BNNT) has sparked research into their industrial applications despite challenges like poor processability due to agglomeration.
  • The study developed a method to enhance BNNT compatibility with polymers by using tannic acid to attach alkyl chains, resulting in improved thermal and mechanical properties of epoxy composites.
  • The composites with 2 wt % of the modified BNNT showed significant enhancements in thermal conductivity (up to 2528%) and mechanical stress (up to 270%) compared to those without BNNT.

In this research article, a poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS)-based composite was postulated adapting an interactive ternary filler system consisting of AlO, hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), and boron nitride nanotubes (BNNT) to construct a continuous three-dimensional (3D) structure for thermal attenuation. AlO was imposed as a main filler, while h-BN and BNNT were assimilated to form interconnected heat conduction pathways for effective thermal dissipation. The structured framework articulates a profound improvement in isotropic thermal conductivity considering both axial and radial heat dissipation.
