Rubber has huge potential applications for thermal management due to its outstanding softness and elasticity, however, its low thermal conductivity limits its applications,and the vulcanized rubber also has the problem of being unrecoverable. Therefore, the development of recyclable rubber-based material with good mechanical properties, high thermal conductivity remains a challenge. Herein, the dynamic β-hydroxyl ester bonds were introduced into the composites of the epoxidized boron nitride (EBN) and the epoxidized polyisoprene (EPI) matrix via carboxyl-terminated hyperbranched polyamide (HBPA), forming dynamic covalently cross-linking rubber-based vitrimers. The covalent-bonds-mediated interface reduces the phonon scattering and enables the material to have a relatively high thermal conductivity of 0.51 W/mK under a loading of 50 phr (parts per one hundred parts of rubber) of EBN. In addition, the introduction of exchangeable bonds brings the materials the capability to change the network topology at high temperatures, exhibiting excellent recyclability and remoldability.
