Abstract: Thermally conductive insulating materials play an important role in heat dissipation of components, high performance of integrated circuits, energy saving and environmental protection. Different from filler-type composite materials, intrinsic thermally conductive insulating material polymers are widely used in industrial fields due to their excellent electrical insulation, easy processability and good thermal conductivity to achieve rapid heat dissipation. However, most of the reviews focus on the development of filler-type composite thermally conductive insulating polymer materials, and there are few reviews on intrinsic thermally conductive insulating polymer materials. Therefore, this work aims at the development of intrinsically thermally conductive insulating polymer materials, summarizes the technical characteristics and research progress of intrinsically thermally conductive insulating polymer materials, and looks forward to the future development direction.
