  • Carbon nanotube based thermal gasket for space vehicles
    Patent number: 10281043
    Abstract: A carbon nanotube-based thermal gasket for space vehicle applications, and process for making the same, is disclosed. A thermal gasket is created that includes one or more free-standing carbon nanotube (CNT) sheets formed of a CNT composition comprising randomly-oriented CNTs and a thermally-conductive resin material. The thermally-conductive resin material is encased within the one or more free-standing CNT sheets and prevented by the one or more CNT sheets from physical contact with an outer side of the thermal gasket.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 8, 2016
    Date of Patent: May 7, 2019
    Assignee: Lockheed Martin Corporation
    Inventors: Edward Allen Pierson, Edward Nathan Harris, Slade Havelock Gardner
