| In the arena of recent technological advancements, particularly in artificial intelligence and personal computing, there's a pronounced shift toward devices that are micro-sized and miniaturized. This trend necessitates devices that are not only flexible and wearable but also practically viable, introducing specific mechanical demands. Central to addressing these demands is the functionalization of fibers, a process that is indispensable for integrating mechanical robustness with essential device functionalities. In this context, hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) emerges as a material of significant interest. Its high thermal conductivity combined with excellent insulating properties makes it an ideal candidate for thermal management in electronic devices. However, the challenge lies in the relatively inferior mechanical performance of h-BN composite fibers, a limitation that our research aims to overcome. Our study innovatively redesigns the fiber structure, striking a balance between functionalization and mechanical reinforcement. Through a detailed exploration utilizing Finite Element Method (FEM) simulations, we delve into the principles underlying fiber reinforcement. This approach enables us to identify the structural factors that contribute to the enhanced mechanical strength of the fibers, ensuring they do not detract from their functional capabilities. Our findings demonstrate that through thoughtful structural design, it is feasible to significantly improve the mechanical attributes of h-BN composite fibers. This enhancement is not merely theoretical but has substantial practical implications. It signifies a leap forward in manufacturing fibers that not only exhibit superior mechanical strength but also possess exceptional thermoelectric properties, making them highly suitable for a variety of practical applications. Our research contributes a novel perspective to the development of next-generation fibers, aligning mechanical resilience with the functional demands of contemporary micro-scale devices, thereby marking a pivotal advancement in material science and engineering. |
