Considering the carbon nanotubes’ (CNTs) orientation distribution a new model of effective thermal conductivity of CNTs-based composites is presented. Based on Maxwell theory, the formulae of calculating effective thermal conductivity of CNTs-based composites are given. The theoretical results on the effective thermal conductivity of CNTs/oil and CNTs/decene suspensions are in good agreement with the experimental data. The model is valid for the transport properties of the CNTs-based composites.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) were used to augment the thermal transport properties of industrial epoxy composites and showed a 70% increase in thermal conductivity at 40 K, rising to 125% at room temperature; the enhancement due to 1 wt'% loading of vapor grown carbon fibers was three times smaller.
