Nanocomposite Protects Flexible Electronics from Heat

May-28-19 A new nanocomposite material that is flexible, strong and thermally conductive could help open the door to the next generation of electronics.

As robots and electronics are becoming ever smaller and more versatile, their components have to keep pace. Looking ahead to the wave of soft and flexible electronics on the horizon, the team from Rice University created a nanocomposite dielectric material to separate the positive and negative electrodes in batteries. Made up of a polymer nanofiber layer and two-dimensional boron nitride nanosheets, the composite can withstand the heat generated by the battery while also remaining flexible and strong.
