Carbon Coated Boron Nitride Nanosheets for Polymer Nanocomposites with Enhanced Dielectric Performance.

ABSTRACT: Carbon coated boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs@C) hybrids with different carbon contents were synthesized by a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. The content of carbon in as-obtained BNNSs@C hybrids could be precisely adjusted from 2.50% to 22.62% by controlling the carbon deposition time during the CVD procedure. Afterward, the BNNSs@C hybrids were subsequently incorporated into the polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) matrix to fabricate the BNNSs@C/PVDF nanocomposites through a combination of solution and melting blending methods. The dielectric properties of the as-obtained BNNSs@C/PVDF nanocomposites could be accurately tuned by adjusting the carbon content. The resultant nanocomposites could afford a high dielectric constant about 39 (10³ Hz) at BNNSs@C hybrids loading of 30 vol %, which is 4.8 times larger than that of pristine BNNSs-filled ones at the same filler loading, and 3.5 times higher than that of pure PVDF matrix. The largely enhanced dielectric performance could be ascribed to the improved interfacial polarizations of BNNSs/carbon and carbon/PVDF interfaces. The approach reported here offers an effective and alternative method to fabricate high-performance dielectric nanocomposites, which could be potentially applied to the embedded capacitors with high dielectric performance.

Hexagonal Boron Nitride-Enhanced Optically Transparent Polymer Dielectric Inks for Printable Electronics.

Project description:Solution-processable thin-film dielectrics represent an important material family for large-area, fully-printed electronics. Yet, in recent years, it has seen only limited development, and has mostly remained confined to pure polymers. Although it is possible to achieve excellent printability, these polymers have low (≈2-5) dielectric constants (ε r ). There have been recent attempts to use solution-processed 2D hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) as an alternative. However, the deposited h-BN flakes create porous thin-films, compromising their mechanical integrity, substrate adhesion, and susceptibility to moisture. These challenges are addressed by developing a "one-pot" formulation of polyurethane (PU)-based inks with h-BN nano-fillers. The approach enables coating of pinhole-free, flexible PU+h-BN dielectric thin-films. The h-BN dispersion concentration is optimized with respect to exfoliation yield, optical transparency, and thin-film uniformity. A maximum ε r ≈ 7.57 is achieved, a two-fold increase over pure PU, with only 0.7 vol% h-BN in the dielectric thin-film. A high optical transparency of ≈78.0% (≈0.65% variation) is measured across a 25 cm2 area for a 10 μm thick dielectric. The dielectric property of the composite is also consistent, with a measured areal capacitance variation of <8% across 64 printed capacitors. The formulation represents an optically transparent, flexible thin-film, with enhanced dielectric constant for printed electronics.

Novel Functionalized Boron Nitride Nanosheets Achieved by Radiation-Induced Oxygen Radicals and Their Enhancement for Polymer Nanocomposites.

Project description:Boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs) exfoliated from hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) show great potential in polymer-based composites due to their excellent mechanical properties, highly thermal conductivity, and insulation properties. Moreover, the structural optimization, especially the surface hydroxylation, of BNNSs is of importance to promote their reinforcements and optimize the compatibility of its polymer matrix. In this work, BNNSs were successfully attracted by oxygen radicals decomposed from di-tert-butylperoxide (TBP) induced by electron beam irradiation and then treated with piranha solution. The structural changes of BNNSs in the modification process were deeply studied, and the results demonstrate that the as-prepared covalently functionalized BNNSs possess abundant surface hydroxyl groups as well as reliable structural integrity. Of particular importance is that the yield rate of the hydroxyl groups is impressive, whereas the usage of organic peroxide and reaction time is greatly reduced due to the positive effect of the electron beam irradiation. The comparisons of PVA/BNNSs nanocomposites further indicate that the hydroxyl-functionalized BNNSs effectively promote mechanical properties and breakdown strength due to the enhanced compatibility and strong two-phase interactions between nanofillers and the polymer matrix, which further verify the application prospects of the novel route proposed in this work.

Improved Energy Storage Performance of Linear Dielectric Polymer Nanodielectrics with Polydopamine coated BN Nanosheets.

Project description:Polymer-based nanodielectrics have been intensively investigated for their potential application as energy storage capacitors. However, their relatively low energy density (Ue) and discharging efficiency (η) may greatly limit their practical usage. In present work, high insulating two-dimensional boron nitride nanosheets (BNNS), were introduced into a linear dielectric polymer (P(VDF-TrFE-CTFE)-g-PMMA) matrix to enhance the energy storage performance of the composite. Thanks to the surface coating of polydopamine (PDA) on BN nanosheets, the composite filled with 6 wt% coated BNNS (mBNNS) exhibits significantly improved breakdown strength (Eb) of 540 MV/m and an energy density (Ue) of 11 J/cm³, which are increased by 23% and 100%, respectively as compared with the composite filled with the same content of pristine BNNS. Meanwhile, η of both composites is well retained at around 70% even under a high voltage of 400 MV/m, which is superior to most of the reported composites. This work suggests that complexing polymer matrix with linear dielectric properties with surface coated BNNS fillers with high insulating 2D structure might be a facile strategy to achieve composite dielectrics with simultaneously high energy density and high discharging efficiency.

Functionalized Boron Nitride Nanosheets/Poly(l-lactide) Nanocomposites and Their Crystallization Behavior.

Project description:In this work, hydroxyl-functionalized boron nitride nanosheet (OH-BNNS) was prepared and was blended with poly(l-lactide) (PLLA) to yield PLLA/OH-BNNS nanocomposites with excellent dispersion of OH-BNNS via the interaction of carbonyl in PLLA and hydroxyl in OH-BNNS. The effects of OH-BNNS on the crystallization and melting behaviors, isothermal crystallization kinetics, macroscopic crystal morphology and crystal structure of PLLA were studied by means of various techniques. The addition of OH-BNNS nanofillers can effectively accelerate the crystallization of PLLA and enhance the nucleation density, leading to a smaller spherulite size, increased crystallinity, a more obvious crystallization peak upon cooling but weakened cold crystallization behavior upon heating. Low OH-BNNS loading can increase the relative content of α-crystal, but the relative content of less perfect α'-crystal is increased at high OH-BNNS loading due to the strong interaction between PLLA and OH-BNNS.

Simultaneously enhanced dielectric properties and through-plane thermal conductivity of epoxy composites with alumina and boron nitride nanosheets.

Project description:Dielectric materials with good thermal transport performance and desirable dielectric properties have significant potential to address the critical challenges of heat dissipation for microelectronic devices and power equipment under high electric field. This work reported the role of synergistic effect and interface on through-plane thermal conductivity and dielectric properties by intercalating the hybrid fillers of the alumina and boron nitride nanosheets (BNNs) into epoxy resin. For instance, epoxy composite with hybrid fillers at a relatively low loading shows an increase of around 3 times in through-plane thermal conductivity and maintains a close dielectric breakdown strength compared to pure epoxy. Meanwhile, the epoxy composite shows extremely low dielectric loss of 0.0024 at room temperature and 0.022 at 100 ℃ and 10-1 Hz. And covalent bonding and hydrogen-bond interaction models were presented for analyzing the thermal conductivity and dielectric properties.

Tuning the Chemical Hardness of Boron Nitride Nanosheets by Doping Carbon for Enhanced Adsorption Capacity.

Project description:The chemical hardness of adsorbents is an important physicochemical property in the process of adsorption based on the hard and soft acids and bases (HSAB) theory. Tuning chemical hardness of adsorbents modulated by their concomitants is a promising approach to enhance the adsorptive capacity in principle. In the present work, we report an efficient strategy that the adsorption capacity for aromatic sulfocompounds can be enhanced by tuning the chemical hardness. This strategy is first theoretically explored by introducing C element into the network of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) based on a series of model materials (model_xC, x = 1-5). Computational results show that the chemical hardness is reduced after gradually C-doping, which may lead to an enhancement of adsorption capacity according to the HSAB theory. Then, a series of C-doped h-BN materials (BCN-x, x = 10-50) were controlled synthesized. All of the as-prepared materials show better adsorption capacities (e.g., 27.43 mg g-1 for BCN-50) than pure h-BN. Experiment results show that the adsorption capacity correlates well with the C content in the BCN-x, which is consistent with the results predicted by theoretical calculation. This strategy may be helpful to rationally design highly efficient adsorbents in separation engineering and may be expanded to similar two-dimensional materials, where the π-π interaction is the dominant driven force.

Enhanced Thermal Conductivity of Polyimide Composites with Boron Nitride Nanosheets.

Project description:A strategy was reported to prepare boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs) by a molten hydroxide assisted liquid exfoliation from hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) powder. BNNSs with an average thickness of 3?nm were obtained by a facile, low-cost, and scalable exfoliation method. Highly thermally conductive polyimide (PI) composite films with BNNSs filler were prepared by solution-casting process. The in-plane thermal conductivity of PI composite films with 7?wt% BNNSs is up to 2.95?W/mK, which increased by 1,080% compared to the neat PI. In contrast, the out-of plane thermal conductivity of the composites is 0.44?W/mK, with an increase by only 76%. The high anisotropy of thermal conductivity was verified to be due to the high alignment of the BNNSs. The PI/BNNSs composite films are attractive for the thermal management applications in the field of next-generation electronic devices.

Boron Nitride Nanosheets/PNIPAM Hydrogels with Improved Thermo-Responsive Performance.

Project description:Thermo-responsive hydrogel is an important smart material. However, its slow thermal response rate limits the scope of its applications. Boron nitride nanosheet-reinforced thermos-responsive hydrogels, which can be controlled by heating, were fabricated by in situ polymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide in the presence of boron nitride nanosheets. The hydrogels exhibit excellent thermo-responsiveness and much enhanced thermal response rate than that of pure poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) hydrogels. Interestingly, the hydrogels can be driven to move in aqueous solution by heating. Importantly, the composite hydrogel is hydrophilic at a temperature below lower critical solution temperature (LCST), while it is hydrophobic at a temperature above LCST. Therefore, it can be used for quick absorption and release of dyes and oils from water. All these properties demonstrate the potential of hydrogel composites for water purification and treatment.

Preparation of boron nitride nanosheet-coated carbon fibres and their enhanced antioxidant and microwave-absorbing properties.

Project description:In this study, annealing carbon fibres with boron and FeCl3·6H2O at elevated temperatures was demonstrated as a novel route to coat carbon fibres with boron nitride (BN) nanosheets. The effect of annealing temperature on the thickness and microstructure of BN coating was investigated. Results showed that BN coating hardly formed at 1000 °C, and uniform BN coating was achieved at 1100 °C and 1200 °C. However, further increasing the temperature to 1250 °C triggered the formation of discretely distributed BN particles on the surface of the BN coating in addition to the formation of a uniform BN coating. The BN coating and particles were constructed by numerous BN nanosheets with a bending and crumpling morphology. The thickness of the BN coating increased with increasing annealing temperature. The oxidation resistance of the carbon fibres dramatically enhanced after BN nanosheets were coated onto the carbon fibre surface. Moreover, given the low dielectric loss tangent of BN, the BN coating can improve the impedance matching of carbon fibres and enhance the microwave-absorbing property of carbon fibres significantly.

Effect of Ambient Plasma Treatments on Thermal Conductivity and Fracture Toughness of Boron Nitride Nanosheets/Epoxy Nanocomposites.

Project description:With the rapid growth in the miniaturization and integration of modern electronics, the dissipation of heat that would otherwise degrade the device efficiency and lifetime is a continuing challenge. In this respect, boron nitride nanosheets (BNNS) are of significant attraction as fillers for high thermal conductivity nanocomposites due to their high thermal stability, electrical insulation, and relatively high coefficient of thermal conductivity. Herein, the ambient plasma treatment of BNNS (PBNNS) for various treatment times is described for use as a reinforcement in epoxy nanocomposites. The PBNNS-loaded epoxy nanocomposites are successfully manufactured in order to investigate the thermal conductivity and fracture toughness. The results indicate that the PBNNS/epoxy nanocomposites subjected to 7 min plasma treatment exhibit the highest thermal conductivity and fracture toughness, with enhancements of 44 and 110%, respectively, compared to the neat nanocomposites. With these enhancements, the increases in surface free energy and wettability of the PBNNS/epoxy nanocomposites are shown to be attributable to the enhanced interfacial adhesion between the filler and matrix. It is demonstrated that the ambient plasma treatments enable the development of highly dispersed conductive networks in the PBNNS epoxy system.
