(a) A histogram for comparative study of thermal conductivity of BNNT-PMMA composites showing almost 3-fold enhancement with BNNT loading fraction of 10 wt.% [143]. (b) Thermal mechanical analysis (TMA) and CTE improvement of four composites, PVB-BNNT, PS-BNNT, PMMA-BNNT and PEVA-BNNT [144]. It can be found that after introducing BNNTs into the pristine polymers, the CTE values were dramatically decreased. (a) Reprinted with permission of [143]. (b) Reprinted with permission of [144].
