Abstract
Abstract An ideal dielectric material for microelectronic devices requires a combination of high anisotropic thermal conductivity and low dielectric constant (ɛ′) and loss ( tan δ ). Polymer composites of boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs), which offer excellent thermal and dielectric properties, show promise for developing these dielectric polymer composites. Herein, a simple method for fabricating polymer/BNNT composites with high directional thermal conductivity and excellent dielectric properties is presented. The nanocomposites with directionally aligned BNNTs are fabricated through melt‐compounding and in situ fibrillation, followed by sintering the fibrous nanocomposites. The fabricated nanocomposites show a significant enhancement in thermal properties, with an in‐plane thermal conductivity ( K ‖ ) of 1.8 Wm −1 K −1 —a 450% increase—yielding a high anisotropy ratio ( K ‖ / K ⊥ ) of 36, a 1700% improvement over isotropic samples containing only 7.2 vol% BNNT. These samples exhibit a 120% faster in‐plane heat dissipation compared to the through‐plane within 2 s. Additionally, they display low ɛ′ of ≈3.2 and extremely low tan δ of ≈0.014 at 1 kHz. These results indicate that this method provides a new avenue for designing and creating polymer composites with enhanced directional heat dissipation properties along with high K ‖ , suitable for thermal management applications in electronic packaging, thermal interface materials, and passive cooling systems.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
