Bulk Hexagonal Boron Nitride with a Quasi‐Isotropic Thermal Conductivity

Superior thermal conductivity in suspended bilayer hexagonal boron nitride

We reported the basal-plane thermal conductivity in exfoliated bilayer hexagonal boron nitride h-BN that was measured using suspended prepatterned microstructures. The h-BN sample suitable for thermal measurements was fabricated by dry-transfer method, whose sample quality, due to less polymer residues on surfaces, is believed to be superior to that of PMMA-mediated samples. The measured room t...

Thermal Conductivity Performance of Polypropylene Composites Filled with Polydopamine-Functionalized Hexagonal Boron Nitride

Mussel-inspired approach was attempted to non-covalently functionalize the surfaces of boron nitride (BN) with self-polymerized dopamine coatings in order to reduce the interfacial thermal barrier and enhance the thermal conductivity of BN-containing composites. Compared to the polypropylene (PP) composites filled with pristine BN at the same filler content, thermal conductivity was much higher...

Thermal conductivity and phonon transport in suspended few-layer hexagonal boron nitride.

The thermal conductivity of suspended few-layer hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) was measured using a microbridge device with built-in resistance thermometers. Based on the measured thermal resistance values of 11-12 atomic layer h-BN samples with suspended lengths ranging between 3 and 7.5 μm, the room-temperature thermal conductivity of a 11-layer sample was found to be about 360 W m(-1) K(-1),...

High thermal conductivity of suspended few-layer hexagonal boron nitride sheets

The thermal conduction of suspended few-layer h-BN sheets was experimentally investigated using a noncontact micro-Raman spectroscopy method. The first-order temperature coefficients for 1L, 2L and 9L h-BN sheets were measured to be – (3.41 ± 0.12) × 10-2, – (3.15 ± 0.14) × 10-2 and – (3.78 ± 0.16) × 10-2 cm-1/K, respectively. The room-temperature thermal conductivity of few-layer h-BN sheets w...
