Abstract

glass transition particle synthesis recommendations sampling temperature-modulated differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)
We report the fabrication of and investigations into the dielectric and thermal properties of epoxy/boron nitride nanotube (BNNT) composites. It was found that BNNT fillers can effectively adjust the dielectric constant of epoxy. Moreover, the thermal conductivity of epoxy was improved by up to 69 % with 5 wt % BNNTs. Our studies indicate that BNNTs are promising nanofillers for polymers, to obtain and control an adjustable dielectric property and improved thermal conductivity.
