Overview

A BNNS/PNF nanocomposite-paper study focused on interfacial thermal transport, electrical insulation, and mechanical performance.

The article reports a pre-PBO-functionalized BNNS/PNF nanocomposite paper designed to reduce interfacial thermal resistance while retaining electrical insulation and mechanical performance.
