  • Carbon Nanotube Arrays as Thermal Interface Materials
    Publication number: 20110189500
    Abstract: Carbon nanotube (CNT) arrays can be used as a thermal interface materials (TIMs). Using a phase sensitive transient thermo-reflectance (PSTTR) technique, the thermal conductance of the two interfaces on either side of the CNT arrays can be measured. The physically bonded interface has a conductance ˜105 W/m2-K and is the dominant resistance. Also by bonding CNTs to target surfaces using indium, it can be demonstrated that the conductance can be increased to ˜106 W/m2-K making it attractive as a thermal interface material (TIM).

  • Electrically and thermally conductive carbon nanotube or nanofiber array dry adhesive
    Publication number: 20060068195
    Abstract: A carbon nanostructure adhesive for adhering two surfaces together, including: an array of vertically aligned carbon nanostructures on a first surface; and a second surface positioned adjacent to the vertically aligned carbon nanostructures such that the vertically aligned carbon nanostructures adhere the first and second surfaces together by van der Waals forces.
