Hydroxy silicone oil modified boron nitride for high thermal conductivity and low dielectric loss silicone rubber composites: experimental and molecular simulation studies.

Polymer-based composites are widely used in microelectronics and wireless communications, which require high thermal conductivity and low dielectric loss for effective heat dispersion and signal transmission. Different lengths of hydroxyl silicone oil chains modified boron nitride/silicone rubber composites were explored and prepared in this work. Experiments demonstrate that the long-chain modified BN improves the thermal conductivity and decreases the dielectric loss of composites.
