However, very few progresses have been achieved in constructing a highly thermal conductive composites coating that can conformably coat on desired subjects for efficient thermal dissipation, due to their lack of materials design and structure control. Herein, we report a bioinspired thermal conductive coating material from cellulose nanofibers (CNFs), boron nitride (BN), and polydopamine (PDA) by mimicking the layered structure of nacre. Owing to the strong interfacial strength, mechanical robustness, and high thermal conductivity of CNFs, they do not only enhance the exfoliation and dispersion of BN nanoplates, but also brPolymersBioinspired Thermal Conductive Cellulose Nanofibers/Boron Nitride Coating Enabled by Co-Exfoliation and Interfacial Engineering.PMC10974445521304230012Xia XLin DXiong RChen YWan XZhou YfalseBioinspired Thermal Conductive Cellulose Nanofibers/Boron Nitride Coating Enabled by Co-Exfoliation and Interfacial Engineering.Thermal conductive coating materials with combination of mechanical robustness, good adhesion and electrical insulation are in high demand in the electronics industry.
