Development and thermal properties of carbon nanotube-polymer composites

摘要

The favorable conductive properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) offer opportunities for constructing CNT-based nanocomposites with improved thermal conduction for a range of potential applications. Such lightweight composite materials are expected to have thermal properties that depend on their CNT volume fraction and operating temperature. The lack of available CNT processing methods that are compatible with multi-laminated composite structures is one of the largest challenges facing the construction of CNT-based nanocomposites.
