Turning Carbon Nanotubes from Exceptional Heat Conductors into Insulators
Abstract
Thermal conductivity ($\ensuremath{\kappa}$) of isolated carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is higher than the $\ensuremath{\kappa}$ of diamond; however, in this Letter we show that the $\ensuremath{\kappa}$ of a packed bed of three-dimensional random networks of single and multiwall CNTs is smaller than that of thermally insulating amorphous polymers. The thermoelectric power ($\ensuremath{\Sigma}$) of the random network of CNTs was also measured. The $\ensuremath{\Sigma}$ of a single wall nanotube network is very similar to that of isolated nanotubes and, in contrast with $\ensuremath{\kappa}$, $\ensuremath{\Sigma}$ shows a strong dependence on the tube diameter.

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.
