Abstract

A quite simple formula for the thermal conductivity enhancement in carbon nanotube composites is presented based on a conventional model. This simple formula predicts much higher thermal conductivity enhancement even in the dilute case of the carbon nanotubes, due to ultrahigh thermal conductivity and aspect ratio of the carbon nanotubes. By applying this model to nanotube suspensions recently reported in the literature, we show that the conventional model is still valid for the nanotube-based composites.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
