Flexible and Robust Functionalized Boron Nitride/Poly(p‑Phenylene Benzobisoxazole)Nanocomposite Paper with High Thermal Conductivity and Outstanding Electrical Insulation

With the rapid development of 5G information technology,thermal conductivity/dissipation problems of highly integrated electronic devices and electrical equipment are becoming prominent.In this work,“high-temperature solid-phase&diazonium salt decomposition”method is carried out to prepare benzidine-functionalized boron nitride(m-BN).Subsequently,m-BN/poly(pphenylene benzobisoxazole)nanofiber(PNF)nanocomposite paper with nacremimetic layered structures is prepared via sol–gel film transformation approach.The obtained m-BN/PNF nanocomposite paper with 50 wt%m-BN presents excellent thermal conductivity,incredible electrical insulation,outstanding mechanical properties and thermal stability,due to the construction of extensive hydrogen bonds andπ–πinteractions between m-BN and PNF,and stable nacre-mimetic layered structures.Itsλ∥andλ_(⊥)are 9.68 and 0.84 W m^(-1)K^(-1),and the volume resistivity and breakdown strength are as high as 2.3×10^(15)Ωcm and 324.2 kV mm^(-1),respectively.Besides,it also presents extremely high tensile strength of 193.6 MPa and thermal decomposition temperature of 640°C,showing a broad application prospect in high-end thermal management fields such as electronic devices and electrical equipment.

High-strength super-hydrophobic double-layered PBO nanofiberpolytetrafluoroethylene nanocomposite paper for high-performance wave-transparent applications

Poly(p-phenylene-2,6-benzobisoxazole)nanofiber(PNF)paper is facing unprecedented challenges in enhancing the interaction between the PNFs and improving its hydrophobicity.In this work,a sol–gel film transformation approach was developed to fabricate high-strength PNF paper.Iron ions formed coordination bonds between PNFs to obtain a preforming three-dimensional,interconnective nanofiber network.Subsequently,polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE)particles were sprayed onto the surface of the paper,followed by thermal treatment to obtain double-layered PTFE-P/PNF nanocomposite paper.The nanocomposite paper presents incredible tensile strength(271.6 MPa,increased by 52.9%),folding endurance,super-hydrophobicity,and self-cleaning performances.Moreover,it exhibits low dielectric constant(2.06)and dielectric loss tangent(0.0133)values.According to the wave-transparent model for a doublelayered dielectric established by Maxwell’s equations,the wave-transparent coefficients of electromagnetic waves incident from both sides of the paper are 97.6%(PNF side)and 96.0%(PTFE/P(S-co-BCB-coMMA)side),respectively.The PTFE-P/PNF nanocomposite paper possesses great potential in the fields of wave-transparent applications.

Hybrid polymer membrane(TA-APTES),synthesized by tannic acid(TA)and aminopropyl trethoxysilane(APTES)based on the Schif’s base and Michael addition reaction,is deposited on the surface of poly(p-phenylene-2,6-benzobisoxazole)(PBO)fbers,and then grafted with epoxy-terminated polysesquisiloxane(POSS)to obtain POSS-g-PBO@TA-APTES fbers.The POSS-g-PBO@TA-APTES fbers reinforced bisphenol A dicyanate ester(BADCy)resins(POSS-g-PBO@TAAPTES fbers/BADCy)wave-transparent laminated composites are prepared.The interlaminar shear strength and fexural strength of POSS-g-PBO@TA-APTES fbers/BADCy composites are respectively enhanced from 36.7 and 587.4 MPa to 42.8 and 645.8 MPa,increased by 16.6%and 9.9%compared with those of PBO fbers/BADCy composites.At 1 MHz,the corresponding dielectric constant and dielectric loss are reduced to 2.85 and 0.0047,respectively,lower than those of PBO fbers/BADCy(3.06 and 0.006)composites.Meanwhile,the simulated wave transmittance rate of POSS-g-PBO@TA-APTES fbers/BADCy composites with the thicknesses of 1.5–3.5 mm is higher than 86.2%at 0.3–40 GHz.The volume resistivity and breakdown strength of POSS-g-PBO@TA-APTES fbers/BADCy composites are 2.8×10^(15)Ω·cm and 19.80 kV/mm,higher than PBO fbers/BADCy composites(2.2×10^(15)Ω·cm and 17.69 kV/mm),respectively.And the corresponding heat resistant index is 221.5℃,lower than PBO fbers/BADCy composites(229.6℃).

PBO fibers/fluorine-containing liquid crystal compound modified cyanate ester wave-transparent laminated composites with excellent mechanical and flame retardance properties

Bisphenol A dicyanate ester resins modified by fluorine-containing liquid crystal compound(LCFE)are applied as polymer matrix(LCFE-BADCy),poly(p-phenylene-2,6-benzobisoxazole)(PBO)fibers as rein-forcements,and fluorine/adamantane PBO precursor(pre FABPBO)as interfacial compatibilizer to prepare the corresponding PBO fibers/FABPBO/LCFE-BADCy wave-transparent laminated composites.LCFE could improve the order degree of BADCy cured network,in favor of enhancing the wave-transparent perfor-mance,mechanical properties,and intrinsic thermal conductivity.The dielectric constant and dielectric loss of PBO fibers/FABPBO/LCFE-BADCy composites are highly temperature(25–200℃)and frequency(10^(4)–10^(7) Hz and 8.2–12.4 GHz)stable with the value of 2.49 and 0.003 under 10^(6) Hz at 25℃,and the corresponding wave transmission efficiency is 95.0%,higher than that of 92.5%for PBO fibers/BADCy com-posites.The interlamellar shear strength and flexural strength are respectively 50.7 MPa and 682.5 MPa,38.1%and 16.2%higher than those of PBO fibers/BADCy composites.Besides,the volume resistivity,breakdown voltage,heat resistance index,glass transition temperature,flame retardant grade,and ul-timate oxygen index of PBO fibers/FABPBO/LCFE-BADCy composites are respectively 5.3×10^(15)Ωcm,29.75 kV/mm,217.2℃,245.7℃,V-1 grade,and 33.6%,expected to be performed as a new generation of“lightweight/loading/wave-transparent”electromagnetic window materials in advanced military weapons and civil communication base station.
