Enhanced thermal conductivities of epoxy nanocomposites via incorporating in-situ fabricated hetero-structured SiC-BNNS fillers

Novel hetero-structured silicon carbide-boron nitride nanosheets (SiC-BNNS) by sol-gel and in-situ growth method were performed as thermally conductive & insulating fillers, and the SiC-BNNS/epoxy thermally conductive nanocomposites were then prepared by blending-casting approach. Synthesized hetero-structured SiC-BNNS fillers have synergistic improvement effects on the thermal conductivities of the SiC-BNNS/epoxy nanocomposites. When the amount...
