Abstract

[Objective]In this paper,the thermal conductivity of flexible polymers was improved and the flexible polymers were applied to the field of high-performance flexible electronics.[Methods] Flexible thermal conductive composites were prepared by incorporating highly thermalconductive Ti3C2 nanosheets into a low-modulus(0. 8 MPa) polyurethane elastomer,achieving the balance of thermal conductivity and flexibility.[Results]Benefiting from the interfacial interactionsbetween the fluorine and hydroxyl groups on the surface of Ti3C2 nanosheets and the polymer matrix, high filler loading of Ti3C2 was achieved,and the mechanical properties of composites were significantly enhanced. The tensile toughness of the composite filled with the 7% Ti3C2 reached 13. 44 MJ/m3. Simultaneously,the interfacial interactions facilitated the mobility of Ti3C2,which made the composites have a 24 h mechanical self-healing efficiency up to 96. 7%,a thermal conductivity of 1. 45 W/(m·K), and excellent flexibility.[Conclusion]The prepared room-temperature self-healing flexible thermal conductive Ti3C2/polyurethane composites showed promising application potential in the flexible thermal management field.
