The thermal expansion coefficient (TEC) and thermal conductivity (k) of thermal fillers are key factors for designing thermal management and thermal protection composite materials. Due to its unique advantages, hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is one of the most commonly used thermal fillers. However,...
