TITANIUM OXIDE-CARBON NANOTUBE COMPOSITE WITH CONTROLLABLE THERMAL PROPERTY AND MANUFACTURING METHOD OF THE SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to a titanium dioxide-carbon nanotube composite wherein a carbon nanotube is dispersed in a titanium dioxide matrix, and the composite being characterized such that an average grain size thereof ranges from 100 nm to 1 m; a thermal conductivity ranges from 0.1 to 10 W/mK at room temperature; the carbon nanotube is contained in an amount of 0.01 to 20 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the titanium dioxide; and to a method of manufacturing the same. According to the present invention, since the titanium dioxide-carbon nanotube composite reduces thermal conductivity, the composite may be utilized in a heat shielding material, an insulation material, a thermoelectric material, etc. requiring low thermal conductivity.
