Article Synopsis
  • Over 110 million tons of mismanaged plastics were produced in 2020, highlighting the environmental impact of traditional polymers, especially in thermally conductive materials.
  • Researchers developed a new eco-friendly composite material using chitosan microspheres and hydroxyl-functionalized hexagonal boron nitride nanoplatelets, structured like a honeycomb for better efficiency.
  • This innovative honeycomb structure significantly improved thermal conductivity, achieving 5.66 W·m·K, marking a 502% increase compared to traditional composites and a 1914% increase over pure chitosan.

Wearing surgical masks is one of the best protective measures to protect humans from viral invasion during the 2019 coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. However, wearing surgical masks for extended periods will cause uncomfortable sweltering sense to users and are easy to breed bacteria. Here, we reported a novel fibrous membrane with outstanding comfortability and antibacterial activity prepared by PP ultrafine fiber nonwovens and antibacterial functionalized h-BN nanoparticles (QAC/h-BN).
