Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) boron nitride (BN) nanosheets, the rising material stars, have unique properties and amazing functionalities. The concise history of diverse synthesis routes of BN nanosheets is briefly summarized here; and the recent development towards mass production of BN nanosheets, i.e. "chemical blowing" technique relying on blowing molten polymer precursors into large polymeric bubbles and subsequent annealing into BN bubbles/nanosheets, is focused on. The abundant BN nanosheets enable their applications, especially in the representative polymeric composites with BN nanosheet additives, as particularly highlighted in this review. The highly thermoconductive insulating BN-filled composites are thus envisaged as high-performance packaging materials for electrical circuits.
Highlights
boron nitride (BN) nanosheets are (002) mono-/few-layered hexagonal BN (h-BN)
We developed a new strategy, so-called “chemical blowing” [32,33], which relies on making large bubbles with atomically thin B-N-H polymer walls starting from ammonia borane (AB) compound as a precursor (Figure 4)
BN nanosheets are the representatives of 2D crystals having unique properties
