Thermal conductivity improvement of silicone elastomer with carbon nanotube loading

Liu, C. H., Huang, H., Wu, Y., Fan, S. S.·2004·Applied Physics Letters

Abstract

Unpurified carbon nanotubes were introduced to silicone elastomer to investigate their effect on the thermal conductivity. Microstructure studies by a scanning electron microscope showed that the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) can be well dispersed in the matrix by the grinding method. No notable agglomerates or phase separation between the carbon and silicone matrix were observed, and the CNTs were individually in random orientation. The thermal conductivities of the composites were measured with the ASTM (American Society of Testing Materials) D5470 method. The thermal conductivities κ were found to increase with the carbon amount. There was a 65% enhancement in κ with 3.8 wt % CNT loading. The enhancement by equal loading of carbon black was found to be a little lower than that by the CNT loading. The composites loaded with CNTs displayed an abrupt increase in the electrical conductivity.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
