Here, combining a simple magnetic-field-orientation and nano-imprinting process, a micropillar arrayed sensor was successfully fabricated, meanwhile, the boron nitride nanosheets (BNNS) were oriented in the polymer matrix. Due to the strain confinement effect, the outputted voltage of m-BNNS/PDMS composite film (SABNNS) demonstrated an improvement of 115.5% compared to the film sample with randomly dispersed nanoparticles. And the device showed a high sensitivity and rapid response capability to human motion. Furthermore, the oriented arrangement of m-BNNS and the enlarged heat dis-sipation area of the micropillar array contribute to the optimized thermal conductivity of the device.展开更多

The variation in dielectric constant was observed as a function of thickness. In this research work multilayers of Hexagonal Boron Nitride (h-BN) was fabricated by using the Chemical exfoliation method. Two solvents Dimethylformamide (DMF) and Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) were used for the exfoliation of h-BN. Successful sonication of hexagonal boron nitride led to the formation of Boron Nitride nanosheets (BNNs). The stable dispersibility of h-BN in Dimethylformamide and Isopropyl Alcohol was confirmed by UV Visible Spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) confirm the mono crystallite structure (002) and nanoflakes like morphology of h-BN respectively. This appropriate strategy offered a feasible route to produce multilayer of hexagonal boron nitride. After the successful fabrication of h-BN multilayers its dielectric properties were calculated by using LCR meter. Profilometer revealed the variation in thickness and value of Dielectric constant was calculated by using its formula.展开更多
