Abstract
Thermal management of flexible/stretchable electronics has been a crucial issue. Mass supernumerary thermal heat is created in the repetitive course of deformation because of the large nanocontact resistance between electric conductive fillers, as well as the interfacial resistance between fillers and the polymer matrix. Here, we report a stretchable thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)-boron nitride nanosheet (BNNS) composite film with a high in-plane thermal conductivity based on an air/water interfacial (AWI) assembly method. In addition to rigid devices, it was capable for thermal management of flexible electronics. During more than 2000 cycles of the bending-releasing process, the average saturated surface temperature of the flexible conductor covered with composite film with 30 wt % BNNSs was approximately 40.8 ± 1 °C (10.5 °C lower than that with pure TPU). Moreover, the thermal dissipating property of the composite under stretching was measured. All the results prove that this TPU-BNNS composite film is a candidate for thermal management of next-generation flexible/stretchable electronics with high power density.
