Stretchable Elastomer–Phase Change Composites for Passive Thermal Management in Wearable Electronics
Abstract: Elastomer-embedded phase change material (EPCM) composites are developed as stretchable, leakage-free, and electrically insulating thermal regulation layers for wearable electronics operating under stringent skin-safety requirements. The EPCM architecture comprises microencapsulated organic phase change materials (μPCM, 30–70 wt%) uniformly dispersed within soft elastomer matrices based on PDMS or SEBS-type thermoplastic elastomers, together with low loadings (1–8 wt%) of electrically insulating hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) fillers to enhance lateral heat transport. Differential …

Multiphysics Optimization of Polymer–Metal Hybrid Electrode Geometry in Electrostatic Precipitators for Enhanced Particle Collection Efficiency
Abstract: Electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) remain one of the most effective technologies for controlling fine particulate emissions in industrial exhaust systems. However, their performance is strongly influenced by electrode geometry and material characteristics, which govern electric field distribution, corona stability, and particle migration behaviour. In this study, a comprehensive numerical investigation is carried out to optimize electrode geometry using a multiphysics modelling framework, while introducing a novel polymer–metal hybrid design to enhance …

Development and Thermal-Soiling Performance Evaluation of Boron-Nitride Reinforced Polymer Nanocomposite Coatings for Solar Photovoltaic Applications
Abstract: Surface heating, dust buildup, and weakening triggered by ultraviolet (UV) light all have a vast effect on the long-term performance of solar photovoltaic (PV) modules. These issues all lower power conversion efficiency in real-world open-air circumstances. A nanocomposite coating built on fluoropolymer (FEP) that is reinforced with hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) nanoparticles is invented by this study to enhance thermal dissipation, optical transmission, and resistance to dirt at the same …

Theoretical Study of Surface Waves in Hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN)
Abstract: Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is a wide bandgap semiconductor material in which Boron (B) and Nitrogen (N) atoms form hexagonal structure and has number of robust properties of technological importance. Boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) are very nice area of research in recent years. Its structure is similar to carbon nanotubes (CNTs) where carbon atoms are arranged in hexagon. hBN is also known as White Graphene. Various methods are employed to …

Boron Nitride Unleashed: Revolutionary Insights into Its Superhard Phases and Machining Aptitude
Abstract: Exploration from the prehistoric era has proven steel to be a hard substance. According to research, the four main crystalline forms of boron nitride are graphitic, cubic, rhombohedral, and wurtzitic. Better hard materials for industrial processes have been provided by diamond, hard ceramic, and cermet in the process of developing the front of the script, which is descriptive. Turning, cutting, drilling, boring, and grinding of hard materials have been linked …
