报告摘要：

Multifunctional polymer nanocomposites consisting of nanoscale reinforcements embedded in a polymer matrix underpin many emerging technological fields. two-dimensional (2D) nanofillers, such as graphene, boron nitride nanosheets, MXene, having excellent thermo-optical properties constitute an intriguing class of functional fillers for polymer nanocomposites. However, fully translating the excellent properties of nanofillers to bulk composites is not trivial. The challenges stem from a lack of thorough understanding of important factors at different length scales coupling the intrinsic properties of nanofillers to the bulk properties of composites, as well as difficulties in the proper control of nanofiller orientation in a polymer matrix.

In this talk, I will discuss how the above challenges are tackled by using a combined multiscale modeling and experimental approach. The multiscale modeling, including molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and analytical models, contributes to the understanding of interfacial behaviors and their effects on bulk thermal conductivities of composites, providing guidance to the multiscale structural design. Using the design principles derived from the modeling, advanced manufacturing techniques based on freeze-casting are developed to achieve controlled assembly of nanofillers in a polymer matrix. Through these holistic efforts, polymer nanocomposites containing architected nanofillers of graphene, boron nitride nanosheets, and MXene achieve tailored electrical, thermal, and optical properties, imparting practical passive thermal management capabilities for thermal interface materials, thermal insulation, and solar-powered water evaporation.
