TL;DR: In this article , Fe2O3 particles are deposited on carbon fibers (CF) and then utilized as fillers in boron nitride/silicone rubber (BN/SR) to fabricate sandwich structured [email protected] 2O3/(BN/R) composites.
Abstract: High integration development of electronics requires materials possessing excellent thermal conductivity, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, and electrical insulation. In this work, Fe2O3 particles are deposited on carbon fibers (CF) and then utilized as fillers ([email protected]2O3) in boron nitride/silicone rubber (BN/SR) to fabricate sandwich structured [email protected]2O3/(BN/SR) composites, herein, BN/SR as top & substrate layer, and [email protected]2O3 as middle layer. Orientation of BN in [email protected]2O3/(BN/SR) composites realizes excellent in-plane thermal conductivity coefficient (λ∥), and the core-sheath structure of [email protected]2O3 achieves good EMI shielding performance by the “absorption-reflection (transmittance)-reabsorption” process of electromagnetic waves, insulation modification of CF and the sandwich structure strengthen the electrical insulation. When the amount of BN and [email protected]2O3 are 20.6 wt% and 45.5 wt%, respectively, the λ∥, EMI shielding effectiveness, volume resistance and breakdown strength of [email protected]2O3/(BN/SR) composites reach 3.86 W/(m·K), 37.7 dB, 6.2 × 1014 Ω cm and 26.8 kV/mm, respectively, which are all higher than those of commonly fabricated CF/(BN/SR) composites with same amount of BN and CF (3.83 W/(m·K), 19.4 dB, 8.6 × 1013 Ω cm and 21.4 kV/mm). [email protected]2O3/(BN/SR) composites possess better cooling effect (5.6 °C) than that of commercial silicon grease (QM850) on the testing platform of computer's central processing unit, whose functions are more abundant and have wide application prospects in electronics.

TL;DR: In this article , a low-melting-point alloy (LMPA) layered structure in epoxy resin is proposed for electronic packaging materials with heat conduction, electrical insulation and EMI shielding properties.
Abstract: Nowadays, electronic packaging materials requires electrical insulation, heat conduction and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding performance. With the inspiration raised by Janus materials, introducing low-melting-point alloy (LMPA) layered structure in epoxy resin is potential method to acquiring satisfying properties. The layered structure is originated from LMPA particles self-sedimentation and closely stacking. Meanwhile, LMPA particles are coated by epoxy resin that could remain the overall electrical insulation. When loading of 20 vol% LMPA, composite obtained thermal conductivity 1.23 W/mK (the LMPA side), total EMI shielding value of 35.56 dB at 30 GHz, and electrical conductivity of 5.00 × 10−8 S/cm. Further, the introduction of boron nitride nanosheet (BNNS) into the composites could promote isotropic heat conduction and improve the electrical insulation. This paper has provided novel LMPA layered structure, showing great promise for applications of electronic packaging materials with heat conduction, electrical insulation and EMI shielding properties.

TL;DR: In this paper , the effect of nanoparticle networks on rheological behavior, electrical conductivity, and electromagnetic wave (EMW) shielding effectiveness is carried in conductive polymer composites (CPC).
Abstract: Herein, a comparative study for the effect of nanoparticle networks on rheological behavior, electrical conductivity, and electromagnetic wave (EMW) shielding effectiveness (SE) is carried in conductive polymer composites (CPC). Two different polymers, that is, poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and isotactic polypropylene (iPP), which have different dispersion of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), are used as polymer matrices. A transmission electron microscope (TEM) and a scanning electron microscope (SEM) are employed to determine the dispersion of MWCNTs in different polymer matrices. A rotational rheometer and a vector network analyzer are used to evaluate the percolation thresholds of storage modulus, complex viscosity and EMW SE, respectively. The results indicate that the EMW SE percolation thresholds are much larger than the electrical and rheological percolation thresholds. Specifically, the percolation thresholds of storage modulus and complex viscosity are 0.39 and 0.33 vol% for the MWCNT/PCL samples, and 1.57 and 1.57 vol% for the MWCNT/iPP samples, respectively. The electrical and EMW SE percolation thresholds are 0.33 and 1.99 vol%, 1.24 and 5.41 vol% for the MWCNT/PCL and MWCNT/iPP nanocomposites, respectively. The electrical and rheological percolation may happen in the samples with a sparse MWCNT network, while EMW SE percolation may require a dense MWCNT network in the samples.

TL;DR: In this paper , a thermal conductivity (TC) of a composite with 10 wt% hydroxylated boron nitride (BN-OH) and modified polystyrene (mPS) was achieved by using a facile in-situ polymerization.
Abstract: Enhancing the heat dissipation capacity of polymer-based composites requires effectively improving the compatibility of filler in a polymer matrix. Herein, hydroxylated boron nitride (BN-OH) and modified polystyrene (mPS) are combined to achieve a high thermal conductive BN-OH@mPS composite by using a facile in-situ polymerization. Due to the strong interface interaction between BN-OH and mPS, the proposed BN-OH@mPS composite can have high thermal conductivity (TC). Specifically, the TC of the composite containing 10 wt% BN-OH can reach 1.231 W/mK, which is 142% higher than that of BN/PS manufactured by a traditional method. Additionally, such a special structure brings a delayed decomposition process of the composite, making it possess high thermal stability. Overall, this serves as a universal route for developing thermal conductive non-polar polymer/inorganic filler composites.
