What is Anchoring Carbon Nanotubes to Boron Nitride Microrods for Enhancing the Thermal Conductivity of Polystyrene about?
The development of high-performance thermally conductive fillers is crucial for the thermal management of polymer-based composites. Herein, a facile precursor pyrolysis strategy was adopted to fabricate boron nitride@multiwalled carbon nanotubes (BN@MWCNTs) fillers, wherein uniformly distributed MWCNTs were firmly anchored on BN microrods. Benefiting from the unique structure, the BN@MWCNTs act as fillers in the design of polystyrene (PS)/BN@MWCNTs composites via in situ polymerization. As a result, a 7.74-fold higher thermal conductivity (TC) (9.55 W/m·K) was achieved for the 10 wt% BN@MWCNTs, as compared to native PS/BN/MWCNTs prepared by the conventional melt-mixing method. More importantly, the PS/BN@MWCNTs composites exhibited satisfactory electrical insulation owing to the isolation effect of BN. Overall, this work provides a promising frontier for the design of polymer-based thermally conducting materials for applications in thermal management.
