Abstract: Robust Polymer-based paper-like composites with an ideal-thermal-transportation structure, in which only single-layer Al 2 O 3 particles distributed in the through-plane direction of the films and the Al 2 O 3 particles were covered by highly thermally conductive graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs), were fabricated by a facile vacuum-assisted self-assembly method. The films exhibited the highest through-plane k value (9.09 Wm−1K−1) among reported polymer-based paper-like composites, excellent flexibility (in over 20,000 bending cycles) and robust mechanical properties (tensile strength ~10.6 MPa and elongation at break ~7.6%). • Robust bacterial cellulose (BC) based paper-like composites were reported. • The composite films have an ideal-thermal-transportation structure. • The films exhibited extremely high through-plane k value (9.09 Wm−1K−1). • The films exhibited excellent flexibility and robust mechanical properties. • Outstanding heat management capability was demonstrated. Great progresses have been achieved in paper-like highly thermally conductive films with high in-plane thermal conductivity (k), but their applications are still limited by the unsatisfactory through-plane k (0.05–2 Wm−1K−1). In practical applications, paper-like robust composites with high through-plane k , instead of bulk materials, are highly desired for thermal interface materials (TIMs). In this work, flexible bacterial cellulose (BC) based paper-like composites with an ideal-thermal-transportation structure, in which a single-layer Al 2 O 3 particles are confined in the through-plane direction of the films and the Al 2 O 3 particles are covered by highly thermally conductive graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs), are fabricated by a facile vacuum-assisted self-assembly method. The films exhibit the highest through-plane k value (9.09 Wm−1K−1) among reported polymer-based paper-like composites, excellent flexibility (in over 20,000 bending cycles) and robust mechanical properties (tensile strength ~10.6 MPa and elongation at break ~7.6%). The outstanding heat management capability of the fabricated films is demonstrated by demonstrative experiments and finite volume simulation, clearly showing the great potential to be used as super TIMs in advanced electronic packaging technology.
