Abstract Thermal conductivity was dramatically increased after adding natural fiber into hexagonal boron nitride (hBN)/epoxy composites. Although does not show high-thermal itself, this study found that the synergy of with hBN could significantly improve thermal conductivity, compared solely using hBN. A design mixtures approach constant fibers increasing volume fractions examined and compared. The composite containing 43.6% hBN, 26.3% kenaf 30.1% epoxy reached 6.418 W m −1 K , which 72.3%...
As a hydrophilic material, wood is difficult to utilize for external applications due the variable weather conditions. In this study, an efficient, facile, and low-cost method was developed enhance hydrophobicity of wood. By applying low-temperature chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technology, polydimethylsiloxane-coated (PDMS@wood) with hydrophobic surface fabricated employing dichlorodimethylsilane as CVD resource. The result water contact angle (i.e., 157.3°) revealed behavior PDMS@wood....
