It is of great significance for saving resources and protecting the environment to endow rubber with excellent recycling ability. Recyclable and self-healing ENR/BN-COOH/GO nanocomposites were prepared through dynamic covalent crosslinking between epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) and carboxylated boron nitride (BN-COOH), and graphene oxide (GO) was used as a reinforcing filler. The constructed dynamic β-hydroxyl ester bond between ENR and BN-COOH resulted in the remarkable enhancement of interfacial interaction and effective energy dissipation, which contributed to good mechanical properties of the nanocomposites, increasing by 116 and 79% in comparison with ENR and ENR/GO, respectively. An exchangeable β-hydroxyl ester bond could regulate a network topology structure via a transesterification reaction at the interface, endowing ENR with desirable recycling and self-healing ability. Moreover, the significant improvement of thermal conductivity for ENR/BN-COOH/GO nanocomposites was achieved, reaching 2.853 W/(m·K) at only 6 wt % BN-COOH content, indicating the formation of effective thermal conductive paths via the β-hydroxyl ester bond and hybrid thermal conductive network of BN-COOH/GO. Meanwhile, the thermal conductivity of recycled samples still maintained a high level due to the construction of the stable thermal conductive network. Such a facile strategy exhibits a promising perspective in preparing recyclable and highly thermal conductive rubber nanocomposites for applications in efficient thermal management fields.

UFG-AHPDMS hybrid with covalent linkages was prepared by chemical grafting and reduction reaction of GO and urea, and then through reaction with AHPDMS using TDI as a bridge in CL...
