Self-healing, recoverable epoxy elastomers and their composites with desirable thermal conductivities by incorporating BN fillers via in-situ polymerization

Thiol-epoxy elastomers were firstly prepared by thiol-epoxide nucleophilic ring-opening reaction, and the micron boron nitride (mBN) fillers were then introduced into the above system via in-situ polymerization, finally to prepare the highly thermally conductive, self-healing and recoverable mBN/thiol-epoxy elastomer composites by hot-pressing method. Results revealed that the thiol-epoxide reaction was highly efficient and stable. The obtained...
