Abstract:
A multi-functional composition including high aspect boron nitride particles providing improved properties such as thermal conductivity, electrical insulation, barrier to moisture, vapor, and gasses, lubrication, friction modification, optical properties, suspension stability, and a system and method for forming such compositions. The high boron nitride particles have an average aspect ratio greater than 300. The multifunctional composition may comprise of a polymer material, fluids, metals, ceramics, glasses, other non-BN fillers and the high aspect ratio boron nitride. Also provided are methods for making such boron nitride particles and compositions.
