Carbonization of Polydopamine-Coating Layers on Boron Nitride for Thermal Conductivity Enhancement in Hybrid Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) Composites
Inspired by mussel adhesion proteins, boron nitride (BN) particles coated with homogeneous polydopamine (BNPDA) were prepared, and through an annealing process, a carbonized PDA layer on the surface of BN was obtained, which exhibited a nanocrystalline graphite-like structure. The effect of carboniz...

| description | Inspired by mussel adhesion proteins, boron nitride (BN) particles coated with homogeneous polydopamine (BNPDA) were prepared, and through an annealing process, a carbonized PDA layer on the surface of BN was obtained, which exhibited a nanocrystalline graphite-like structure. The effect of carbonization of PDA coating layer on BN particles was characterized by various analytical techniques including SEM, TEM, Raman spectroscopy, and XPS. When the resulting particles were used as a thermally conductive filler for polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) composite films, enhanced thermal conductivity was observed compared to raw BN composite due to the ordered structure and improved solubility in water. Furthermore, the homogeneous dispersion of the filler and excellent flexibility of the modified composite film with 21 wt % filler may be attributed to compatibility with the PVA chain. As the whole fabrication process did not use toxic chemicals (mainly water was used as the solvent), it may contribute to green and sustainable chemistry. |
