| dc.description.abstract | The thermal conductivity of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT)/polystyrene composites,
prepared by a method known to produce a uniform distribution of SWCNT bundles on the micrometer
length scale, was measured in the temperature range from approximately 140 to 360 K. The thermal
conductivity enhancement (50% for 1 mass % at 300 K) is reasonably constant above room temperature
but is reduced at the lower temperatures. This result is consistent with the expected, large
contribution of interfacial thermal resistance in SWCNT/polymer composites. Enhancements in
electrical conductivity show that 1 mass % loading is in the region of the electrical percolation
threshold. | en_US |
