Coaxial Wet Spinning of Boron Nitride Nanosheet-Based Composite Fibers with Enhanced Thermal Conductivity and Mechanical Strength

Abstract

Highlights A core-sheath structured coaxial composite fiber with highly aligned and densely stacked boron nitride nanosheets arrangements in the sheath was successfully fabricated. The coaxial fibers have an ultrahigh axial Herman orientation parameter of 0.81, thermal conductivity of 17.2 W m−1 K−1, and tensile strength of 192.5 MPa. The coaxial fibers exhibit intensively potential applications in the wearable thermal management textile.
