Popis: Simultaneously enhancing the thermal conductivity, insulation, and mechanical properties of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) composites is highly desired for electronic and electrical applications. In this research, HDPE/boron nitride (BN)/coconut shell charcoal (CSC) composites were prepared. Benefit from the synergistic effect between the multi-dimensional hybrid fillers, the prepared HDPE/BN/CSC composites exhibited enhanced comprehensive properties compared to the HDPE/BN composites and pure HDPE. In particular, as for HDPE/25BN/3CSC (25 wt% BN, 3 wt% CSC) nanocomposites compared to the pure HDPE, enhancements in in-plane thermal conductivity of 980.89%, normal thermal conductivity of 138%, and tensile strength of 18.91% were obtained, while higher volume resistivity and decomposition temperature were achieved. This work provides a simple but effective way for improving the thermal conductivity and comprehensive physical properties of HDPE composites.
