Abstract:
1. A resin comprising: polymer brushes dispersed within said resin, said polymer brushes comprising: a base structure comprising a substrate, an initiator layer extending from the substrate, and a polymer layer extending from the initiator layer; and a plurality of liquid crystal thermoset epoxy polymer chains that are attached to and extend from the polymer layer of the base structure, wherein said polymer brushes have a density of 0.8 to 1.0 g/cc, a chain length of 1 to 1000 nm, and a thermal conductivity of 0.5 to 5.0 W/mK; wherein said polymer brushes are configured to increase an ordering of the polymer chains and resin molecules within the resin, thereby increasing a thermal conductivity of the resin.
