Thermally conductive glass fibers cloth/spherical boron nitride fillers/epoxy (GFs/BN/epoxy) laminated composites with excellent electrical insulation properties were fabricated by blending-impregnation followed by hot compression method. Epichlorohydrin (ECH) was successfully grafted onto the surface of GFs (f-GFs), in favor of improving the mechanical properties of the f-GFs/epoxy laminated composites. For a given spherical BN fillers loading, GBN-100 with relatively larger particle size was more benefit for enhancing the thermal conductivities of the BN/epoxy composites. Meantime, thermal conductivity coefficient (λ) values of the f-GFs/GBN-100/epoxy laminated composites were gradually enhanced with the increasing addition of GBN-100 fillers. When the mass fraction of GBN-100 fillers was 20 wt%, the λ in vertical (λ⊥) and parallel (λ∥) of the f-GFs/GBN-100/epoxy laminated composites was the maximum of 1.21 and 3.55 W m-1K-1, about 3 and 6 times than that of the f-GFs/epoxy laminated composites (λ⊥ of 0.41 W m-1K-1 and λ∥ of 0.66 W m-1K-1), respectively, and much higher than that of pure epoxy matrix (0.23 W m-1K-1). Meantime, the surface resistivity and breakdown strength of the f-GFs/GBN-100/epoxy laminated composites with 20 wt% GBN-100 fillers was respectively decreased to 5.1*1014 Ω and 7 kV·mm-1, but still maintained excellent electrical insulation properties.
