Abstract: | We studied the thermal transport properties of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) in polymer and oil matrices. The thermal conductivity of the oils and polymers increased linearly when adding tubes. We observe a particularly high increase in the thermal diffusivity of carbon-nanotube-loaded liquid crystal polymers (6×10−5 cm2/s wt%), which is due to a spontaneous alignment of the MWNTs. Carbon nanotubes increased the thermal conductivity of oil by a factor of three for 20 wt% loading. We found little or no dependence of the thermal enhancement on the specific flavor of multiwall nanotubes used in the composites. Carbon nanotubes are excellent nanoscale fillers for composites in thermal management application. |
