This project aims to develop innovative substrates for flexible electronics by integrating thermally conductive inorganic 2D nanosheets (boron/aluminum nitride) with organic renewable nanofibrillated cellulose and PVA. The goal is to create substrates with enhanced heat dissipation, electrical insulation, flexibility, and mechanical strength while maintaining sustainable and scalable production. Advanced processing techniques, including microwave/ultrasound exfoliation, vacuum-assisted filtration, and cost-effective slot-die coating, will be explored. Machine learning will be used to optimize substrate design and fabrication parameters, ensuring high performance for applications in wearable devices, optoelectronics, and intelligent packaging. The project also includes life cycle assessment (LCA) and recycling feasibility studies to enhance sustainability.
