Abstract
Skin-attachable electronics have garnered considerable research attention in health monitoring and artificial intelligence domains, whereas susceptibility to electromagnetic interference (EMI), heat accumulation issues, and ultraviolet (UV)-induced aging problems pose significant constraints on their potential applications. Here, an ultra-elastic, highly breathable, and thermal-comfortable epidermal sensor with exceptional UV-EMI shielding performance and remarkable thermal conductivity is developed for high-fidelity monitoring of multiple human electrophysiological signals. Via filling the elastomeric microfibers with thermally conductive boron nitride nanoparticles and bridging the insulating fiber interfaces by plating Ag nanoparticles (NPs), an interwoven thermal conducting fiber network (0.72 W m-1 K-1) is constructed benefiting from the seamless thermal interfaces, facilitating unimpeded heat dissipation for comfort skin wearing. More excitingly, the elastomeric fiber substrates simultaneously achieve outstanding UV protection (UPF = 143.1) and EMI shielding (SET > 65, X-band) capabilities owing to the high electrical conductivity and surface plasmon resonance of Ag NPs. Furthermore, an electronic textile prepared by printing liquid metal on the UV-EMI shielding and thermally conductive nonwoven textile is finally utilized as an advanced epidermal sensor, which succeeds in monitoring different electrophysiological signals under vigorous electromagnetic interference. This research paves the way for developing protective and environmentally adaptive epidermal electronics for next-generation health regulation.

Highly Thermally Conductive and Structurally Ultra-Stable Graphitic Films with Seamless Heterointerfaces for Extreme Thermal Management. NANO-MICRO LETTERS 2023; 16:58. [PMID: 38112845 PMCID: PMC10730789 DOI: 10.1007/s40820-023-01277-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2023] [Accepted: 11/08/2023] [Indexed: 12/21/2023]
Abstract
Highly thermally conductive graphitic film (GF) materials have become a competitive solution for the thermal management of high-power electronic devices. However, their catastrophic structural failure under extreme alternating thermal/cold shock poses a significant challenge to reliability and safety. Here, we present the first investigation into the structural failure mechanism of GF during cyclic liquid nitrogen shocks (LNS), which reveals a bubbling process characterized by "permeation-diffusion-deformation" phenomenon. To overcome this long-standing structural weakness, a novel metal-nanoarmor strategy is proposed to construct a Cu-modified graphitic film (GF@Cu) with seamless heterointerface. This well-designed interface ensures superior structural stability for GF@Cu after hundreds of LNS cycles from 77 to 300 K. Moreover, GF@Cu maintains high thermal conductivity up to 1088 W m-1 K-1 with degradation of less than 5% even after 150 LNS cycles, superior to that of pure GF (50% degradation). Our work not only offers an opportunity to improve the robustness of graphitic films by the rational structural design but also facilitates the applications of thermally conductive carbon-based materials for future extreme thermal management in complex aerospace electronics.

Abstract
The distinctive thermal energy storage properties of phase change materials (PCMs) are critical for solving energy issues. However, their inherently low thermal conductivity and limited energy conversion capability impede their applications in advanced thermal energy harvesting and storage systems. Herein, we developed magnetic composite PCMs with enhanced thermal conductivity for anisotropic photothermal and magnetic-to-thermal energy conversions. The hierarchically interconnected ferroferric oxide-coated boron nitride/poly(vinyl alcohol) (BN@Fe3O4/PVA) porous scaffolds were constructed by a unidirectional freeze-casting method to enhance the directional heat transfer capability of the composite PCMs with a through-plane thermal conductivity of 1.84 W m-1 K-1 at a BN@Fe3O4 loading of 25.4 wt %. The superparamagnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles endow the composite PCMs with unique solar absorption and magnetic response properties, and the energy conversion efficiency can be regulated by controlling the orientation of the synthesized magnetic particles in the composite PCMs. As a consequence, the resulting composite PCMs exhibit superior photo/magnetic-to-thermal energy conversion efficiency along the direction of orientation of magnetic particles. These novel findings provide an instructive guide to yield composite PCMs for efficient energy conversion.

Abstract
The pressing issues of the energy crisis and rapid electronics development have sparked a growing interest in the production of highly thermally conductive polymer composites. Due to the challenges related to the poor processability of hybrid materials and filler distribution to achieve high thermal conductivity, electrospinning is employed to create composite nanofibers and yarns using polyimide (PI) and thermally conductive silicon nitride (SiN) nanoparticles. The thermal performance of the individual nanofibers is evaluated using scanning thermal microscopy (SThM), providing significant insights into their heat transfer performance. Next, the nanofibers are applied as coatings on resistance wires to assess the thermal conductivity and insulation properties. Notably, the samples containing 35 wt.% of SiN exhibit a 25% increase in surface temperature. These innovative materials hold great promise as exceptional candidates for smart textiles and thermal management applications, addressing the growing demand for effective heat dissipation and regulation.

Abstract
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(p-phenylene benzobisoxazole) nanofiber (PNF) nanocomposite paper with nacre-mimetic 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 and π-π interactions between m-BN and PNF, and stable nacre-mimetic layered structures. Its λ∥ and λ⊥ are 9.68 and 0.84 W m-1 K-1, and the volume resistivity and breakdown strength are as high as 2.3 × 1015 Ω cm 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.

Abstract
Graphene-based thermally conductive composites have been proposed as effective thermal management materials for cooling high-power electronic devices. However, when flexible graphene nanosheets are assembled into macroscopic thermally conductive composites, capillary forces induce shrinkage of graphene nanosheets to form wrinkles during solution-based spontaneous drying, which greatly reduces the thermal conductivity of the composites. Herein, graphene nanosheets/aramid nanofiber (GNS/ANF) composite films with high thermal conductivity were prepared by in-plane stretching of GNS/ANF composite hydrogel networks with hydrogen bonds and π-π interactions. The in-plane mechanical stretching eliminates graphene nanosheets wrinkles by suppressing inward shrinkage due to capillary forces during drying and achieves a high in-plane orientation of graphene nanosheets, thereby creating a fast in-plane heat transfer channel. The composite films (GNS/ANF-60 wt%) with eliminated graphene nanosheets wrinkles showed a significant increase in thermal conductivity (146 W m-1 K-1) and tensile strength (207 MPa). The combination of these excellent properties enables the GNS/ANF composite films to be effectively used for cooling flexible LED chips and smartphones, showing promising applications in the thermal management of high-power electronic devices.

Abstract
Highlights This article systematically reviews the thermal management wearables with a specific emphasis on materials and strategies to regulate the human body temperature. Thermal management wearables are subdivided into the active and passive thermal managing methods. The strength and weakness of each thermal regulatory wearables are discussed in details from the view point of practical usage in real-life. Abstract Thermal management is essential in our body as it affects various bodily functions, ranging from thermal discomfort to serious organ failures, as an example of the worst-case scenario. There have been extensive studies about wearable materials and devices that augment thermoregulatory functionalities in our body, employing diverse materials and systematic approaches to attaining thermal homeostasis. This paper reviews the recent progress of functional materials and devices that contribute to thermoregulatory wearables, particularly emphasizing the strategic methodology to regulate body temperature. There exist several methods to promote personal thermal management in a wearable form. For instance, we can impede heat transfer using a thermally insulating material with extremely low thermal conductivity or directly cool and heat the skin surface. Thus, we classify many studies into two branches, passive and active thermal management modes, which are further subdivided into specific strategies. Apart from discussing the strategies and their mechanisms, we also identify the weaknesses of each strategy and scrutinize its potential direction that studies should follow to make substantial contributions to future thermal regulatory wearable industries.

Abstract
Polymer composites have essential applications in electronics due to their versatility, stable performance, and processability. However, with the increasing miniaturization and high power of electronics in the 5G era, there are significant challenges related to heat accumulation and electromagnetic wave (EMW) radiation in narrow spaces. Traditional solutions involve using either thermally conductive or EMW absorbing polymer composites, but these fail to meet the demand for multi-functional integrated materials in electronics. Therefore, designing thermal conduction and EMW absorption integrated polymer composites has become essential to solve the problems of heat accumulation and electromagnetic pollution in electronics and adapt to its development trend. Researchers have developed different approaches to fabricate thermal conduction and EMW absorption integrated polymer composites, including integrating functional fillers with both thermal conduction and EMW absorption functions and innovating processing methods. This review summarizes the latest research progress, factors that affect performance, and the mechanisms of thermal conduction and EMW absorption integrated polymer composites. The review also discusses problems that limit the development of these composites and potential solutions and development directions. The aim of this review is to provide references for the development of thermal conduction and EMW absorption integrated polymer composites.

Abstract
Interfacial thermal resistance is the main barrier restricting the heat dissipation of thermal management materials in electronic equipment. The interface structure formed by covalent bonding is an effective way to promote interfacial heat transfer. Herein, an integrated composite with multi-aspect covalent bonding beneficial for heat transmission is constructed by polyimide (PI) polymerization with maleimide modified graphene nanosheets (M@GNS). The interfacial structure with low thermal resistance built by covalent bonding and oriented graphene arrangement initiated by the coating process makes the in-plane thermal conductivity of the composite as high as 16.10 W m-1 K-1. Finite element simulation and 1000 bending tests are carried out to further verify the performance advantages of the integrated structure in the internal thermal diffusion and long-term use of the composite. M@GNS/PI with integrated structure provides extra heat transfer channels for heat dissipation, possibly providing an effective way to address the traditional thermal accumulation issue of electronic devices.

Abstract
Polyimide (PI) is one of the most dominant engineering plastics with excellent thermal, mechanical, chemical stability and dielectric performance. Further improving the versatility of PIs is of great significance, broadening their application prospects. Thus, integrating functional nanofillers can finely tune the individual characteristic to a certain extent as required by the function. Integrating the two complementary benefits, PI-based composites strongly expand applications, such as aerospace, microelectronic devices, separation membranes, catalysis, and sensors. Here, from the perspective of system science, the recent studies of PI-based composites for molecular design, manufacturing process, combination methods, and the relevant applications are reviewed, more relevantly on the mechanism underlying the phenomena. Additionally, a systematic summary of the current challenges and further directions for PI nanocomposites is presented. Hence, the review will pave the way for future studies.

Abstract
Thermal conduction for electronic equipment has grown in importance in light of the burgeoning of 5G communication. It is imperatively desired to design highly thermally conductive fillers and polymer composite films with prominent Joule heating characteristics and extensive mechanical properties. In this work, "solvothermal & in situ growth" method is carried out to prepare "Fungal tree"-like hetero-structured silver nanowires@boron nitride nanosheet (AgNWs@BNNS) thermally conductive fillers. The thermally conductive AgNWs@BNNS/ANF composite films are obtained by the method of "suction filtration self-assembly and hot-pressing". When the mass fraction of AgNWs@BNNS is 50 wt%, AgNWs@BNNS/ANF composite film presents the optimal thermal conductivity coefficient of 9.44 W/(m ⋅ K) and excellent tensile strength of 136.6 MPa, good temperature-voltage response characteristics, superior electrical stability and reliability, which promise a wide application potential in 5G electronic devices.

Abstract
Phase change materials have a key role for wearable thermal management, but suffer from poor water vapor permeability, low enthalpy value and weak shape stability caused by liquid phase leakage and intrinsic rigidity of solid-liquid phase change materials. Herein, we report for the first time a versatile strategy for designed assembly of high-enthalpy flexible phase change nonwovens (GB-PCN) by wet-spinning hybrid graphene-boron nitride (GB) fiber and subsequent impregnating paraffins (e.g., eicosane, octadecane). As a result, our GB-PCN exhibited an unprecedented enthalpy value of 206.0 J g-1, excellent thermal reliability and anti-leakage capacity, superb thermal cycling ability of 97.6% after 1000 cycles, and ultrahigh water vapor permeability (close to the cotton), outperforming the reported PCM films and fibers to date. Notably, the wearable thermal management systems based on GB-PCN for both clothing and face mask were demonstrated, which can maintain the human body at a comfortable temperature range for a significantly long time. Therefore, our results demonstrate huge potential of GB-PCN for human-wearable passive thermal management in real scenarios.

High-Temperature Response Polylactic Acid Composites by Tuning Double-Percolated Structures. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 15:polym15010138.

Abstract
Due to the properties of a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) effect and a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) effect, electrically conductive polymer composites (CPCs) have been widely used in polymer thermistors. A dual percolated conductive microstructure was prepared by introducing the polybutylene adipate terephthalate phase (PBAT) into graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs)-filled polylactic acid (PLA) composites, intending to develop a favorable and stable PTC material. To achieve this strategy, GNPs were selectively distributed in the PBAT phase by injection molding. In this study, we investigated the crystallization behavior, electrical conductivity, and temperature response of GNP-filled PLA/PBAT composites. The introduction of GNPs into PLA significantly increased PLA crystallization capacity, where the crystallization onset temperature (To) is raised from 116.7 °C to 134.7 °C, and the crystallization half-time (t1/2) decreases from 35.8 min to 27.3 min. The addition of 5 wt% PBAT increases the electrical conductivity of PLA/PBAT/GNPs composites by almost two orders of magnitude when compared to PLA/GNPs counterparts. The temperature of the heat treatment is also found to play a role in affecting the electrical conductivity of PLA-based composites. Increasing crystallinity is favorable for increasing electrical conductivity. PLA/PBAT/GNPs composites also show a significant positive temperature coefficient, which is reflected in the temperature-electrical resistance cycling tests.

Abstract
While boron nitride (BN) is widely recognized as the most promising thermally conductive filler for rapidly developing high-power electronic devices due to its excellent thermal conductivity and dielectric properties, a great challenge is the poor vertical thermal conductivity when embedded in composites owing to the poor interfacial interaction causing severe phonon scattering. Here, we report a novel surface modification strategy called the "self-modified nanointerface" using BN nanocrystals (BNNCs) to efficiently link the interface between BN and the polymer matrix. Combining with ice-press assembly method, an only 25 wt% BN-embedded composite film can not only possess an in-plane thermal conductivity of 20.3 W m-1 K-1 but also, more importantly, achieve a through-plane thermal conductivity as high as 21.3 W m-1 K-1, which is more than twice the reported maximum due to the ideal phonon spectrum matching between BNNCs and BN fillers, the strong interaction between the self-modified fillers and polymer matrix, as well as ladder-structured BN skeleton. The excellent thermal conductivity has been verified by theoretical calculations and the heat dissipation of a CPU. This study provides an innovative design principle to tailor composite interfaces and opens up a new path to develop high-performance composites.

Abstract
Phase change materials (PCMs) as one of the most potential latent heat storage techniques have been widely used for thermal management and energy storage. However, simultaneously imparting flexibility, high thermal conductivity, and considerable energy storage density to organic PCMs remains challenging. In this work, a coupling strategy combining substance exchange and magnetic orientation has been proposed to fabricate phase change gels (PCGs) with thermally induced flexibility and high through-plane thermal conductivity. In the PCGs, synthesized boron nitride/ferroferric oxide (BN@Fe3O4) particles and polyacrylic acid (PAA) precursor liquid are introduced to polyethylene glycol (PEG) aqueous solution, and a magnetic field is applied in the process of PAA network construction to promote ordered arrangement of BN@Fe3O4 along the direction of the magnetic field. Consequently, PEG is wrapped by the cross-linked PAA supporting network, forming PCGs with excellent shape stability and thermally induced flexibility. The vertical orientation structure of BN@Fe3O4 endows the PCGs with an enhanced through-plane thermal conductivity of up to 1.07 W m-1 K-1 at a BN@Fe3O4 loading of 25.6 wt % with an additional enhancement of 215% compared to the composite without BN. The thermally conductive leakage-proof PCGs present great application potential in heat storage and management.

Abstract
Phase change materials (PCMs) are expected to achieve dual-mode thermal management for heating and cooling Li-ion batteries (LIBs) according to real-time thermal conditions, guaranteeing the reliable operation of LIBs in both cold and hot environments. Herein, we report a liquid metal (LM) modified polyethylene glycol/LM/boron nitride PCM, capable of dual-mode thermal managing the LIBs through photothermal effect and passive thermal conduction. Its geometrical conformation and thermal pathways fabricated through ice-template strategy are conformable to the LIB's structure and heat-conduction characteristic. Typically, soft and deformable LMs are modified on the boron nitride surface, serving as thermal bridges to reduce the contact thermal resistance among adjacent fillers to realize high thermal conductivity of 8.8 and 7.6 W m-1 K-1 in the vertical and in-plane directions, respectively. In addition, LM with excellent photothermal performance provides the PCM with efficient battery heating capability if employing a controllable lighting system. As a proof-of-concept, this PCM is manifested to heat battery to an appropriate temperature range in a cold environment and lower the working temperature of the LIBs by more than 10 °C at high charging/discharging rate, opening opportunities for LIBs with durable working performance and evitable risk of thermal runaway.
