Hybrid MoS<sub>2</sub>/h-BN Nanofillers As Synergic Heat Dissipation and Reinforcement Additives in Epoxy Nanocomposites
Two-dimensional
(2D) nanomaterials as molybdenum disulfide (MoS<sub>2</sub>), hexagonal
boron nitride (h-BN), and their hybrid (MoS<sub>2</sub>/h-BN) were
employed as fillers to improve the physical properties of epoxy composites.
Nanocomposites were produced in different concentrations and studied
in their microstructure, mechanical and thermal properties. The hybrid
2D mixture imparted efficient reinforcement to the epoxy leading to
increases of up to 95% in tensile strength, 60% in ultimate strain,
and 58% in Youngās modulus. Moreover, an enhancement of 203%
in thermal conductivity was achieved for the hybrid composite as compared
to the pure polymer. The incorporation of MoS<sub>2</sub>/h-BN mixture
nanofillers in epoxy resulted in nanocomposites with multifunctional
characteristics for applications that require high mechanical and
thermal performance
