Thermal Contact Resistance and Thermal Conductivity of a Carbon Nanofiber
We have measured the thermal resistance of a 152-nm-diameter carbon nanofiber before and after a platinum layer was deposited on the contacts between the nanofiber and the measurement device. The contact resistance was reduced by the platinum coating for about 9–13% of the total thermal resistance of the nanofiber sample before the platinum coating. At a temperature of 300 K, the axial thermal ...
متن کاملContact mechanics and thermal conductance of carbon nanotube array interfaces
A model is developed in this work to predict the thermal contact resistance of carbon nanotube (CNT) array interfaces with CNT arrays synthesized directly on substrate surfaces. An analytical model for contact mechanics is first developed in conjunction with prior data from load–displacement experiments to predict the real contact area established in CNT array interfaces as a function of applie...
متن کاملThermal Analysis of laminated (Copper – Graphite) as Heat Spreader Material
Copper-Graphite laminate material design has been analysed, and this proposed composite has the ability to enhance heat dispersing more efficiently compared to the traditional high thermal conductivity with weight associated copper and high thermal resistance graphite. A finite element analysis (FEA) is carried out using the material (Cu – Gr) properties to investigate this proof. The design, t...
متن کاملControlling the catalyst during carbon nanotube growth.
We have recently been able to grow single-walled carbon nanotubes by purely thermal chemical vapour deposition (CVD) at temperatures as low as 400 degrees C. This has been achieved by separating the catalyst pre-treatment step from the growth step. In the pre-treatment step, a thin film catalyst is re-arranged into a series of nano-droplets, which are then the active catalysts. Both steps have ...
متن کاملHeat conduction in carbon nanotube materials: Strong effect of intrinsic thermal conductivity of carbon nanotubes
Computational study of thermal conductivity of interconnected networks of bundles in carbon nanotube (CNT) films reveals a strong effect of the finite thermal conductivity kT of individual nanotubes on the conductivity k of the CNT materials. The physical origin of this effect is explained in a theoretical analysis of systems composed of straight randomly dispersed CNTs. An analytical equation ...
