As a class of layered materials, two dimensional (2D) materials have attracted great attention all around the world due to their inherent use for next generation nano technology devices. We can see 2D materials including carbon in our daily life and at many places, for instance, graphite, diamond and so on. New study is also being conducted to produce new functional materials by combining 2D material and polymer. Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) which is one kind of 2D material is dispersed in Poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) or poly styrene (PS). The composite material of h-BN coated with polymer shows an improvement in the properties such as the higher thermal conductivity and higher mechanical strength. In this study, the composite material of PMMA, h-BN and gold nanoparticles has been synthesized. Boron nitride nano-structures were prepared by nanosecond laser ablation in acetone and was carried out at room temperature with laser ablation time of 120 min. The PMMA films were made by PMMA granules dissolved in acetone solvent and then mix with h-BN and gold colloid solution. The prepared composite films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and UV-vis spectroscopy. Such type of unique 2D nano-composite materials make their mark for the future exploitation in electronics and nanocomposite-related applications.
