Abstract: A coating composition comprises: exfoliated boron nitride nano sheets (BNNS); and a thermoplastic polymer matrix, wherein the coating composition: (i) has a thermal conductivity greater than or equal to 1.0 W/mK; (ii) has an electric breakdown voltage higher than or equal to 20 kV/mm; and (iii) is pliable. The coating composition can also include the exfoliated BNNS bound to the surfaces of a plurality of co-particles that aligns a plane of the BNNS not parallel to a longitudinal axis of an electromagnetic wire. The non-parallel alignment increases thermal conductivity through the coating. The polymer matrix can be a polyester imide, a polyamide-imide, polysulfones, a polyimide, a polyether ketone, or combinations thereof. Methods of forming the coating include forming the exfoliated BNNS; combining a first monomer and a second monomer to form the thermoplastic polymer matrix; and causing or allowing the exfoliated BNNS to be dispersed throughout the thermoplastic polymer matrix.

Abstract: Methods for attaching a reducible nanomaterial to an organic polymer are described herein. A method includes subjecting a reaction mixture that includes the reducible nanomaterial and the organic polymer to a reducing agent under reaction conditions sufficient to reduce the nanomaterial, activate the organic polymer, and attach the reduced nanomaterial to the organic polymer during the reaction.

Abstract: Bio-based terephthalic acid (bio-TPA), bio-based dimethyl terephthalate (bio-DMT), and bio-based polyesters, which are produced from a biomass containing a terpene or terpenoid, such as limonene are described, as well as the process of making these products.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods for making conductive materials. The methods can be used to make transparent, opaque, or reflective electrodes by using the same materials and equipment but varying the processing conditions or amounts of materials used. The methods can include: (a) providing a substrate comprising a first surface and an opposite second surface, wherein micro- or nanostructures are disposed on at least a portion of the first surface, and wherein the first surface is not pre-conditioned to increase attachment between the micro- or nanostructures and the substrate; (b) applying heat to heat the substrate surface to a temperature that is greater than the glass transition temperature or the Vicat softening temperature of the substrate and less than the melting point of the substrate; (c) applying pressure such that the substrate and the micro- or nanostructures are pressed together; and (d) removing the pressure to obtain the conductive material.
