In this study, aluminum nitride was treated with silane in an attempt to improve the performance of polyetherimide (PEI) composites. Various properties of the modified AlN/PEI composites were examined including the thermal conductivity by way of a thermal analyzer based on the transient plane source (TPS) method. Results showed that the AlN filler improved dispersion and interface of the matrix which enhanced the thermal conductivity of the PEI composites....
