...Feng Gao; Jianmin Qu; Matthew Yao Reported in this paper is a quantum mechanics study on the electronic structure and contact resistance at the interfaces formed when an open-end single-walled carbon nanotube (CNT) is in end-contact with aluminum (Al) and palladium (Pd), respectively...

...Stephen L. Hodson; Thiruvelu Bhuvana; Baratunde A. Cola; Xianfan Xu; G. U. Kulkarni; Timothy S. Fisher Carbon nanotube (CNT) arrays can be effective thermal interface materials with high compliance and conductance over a wide temperature range. Here, we study CNT interface structures in which free...

...Satish Kumar; Baratunde A. Cola; Roderick Jackson; Samuel Graham The exceptional electronic, thermal, mechanical, and optical characteristics of carbon nanotubes offer significant improvement in diverse applications such as flexible electronics, energy conversion, and thermal management. We present...

...O. A. Al-Hartomy; M. A. SHAH The requirements of simple and reliable protocols for the synthesis of nanostructures with controlled morphology continue to be a major challenge in nanoscale. We demonstrate a novel and simplified synthesis technique for double wall carbon nanotubes using flotation...

... fillers and a matrix that allows for good surface wetting and compliance of the material during application. Two types of TIMs are tested based on the addition of carbon nanotubes (CNTs): one mixed with a commercial TIM product and the other only CNTs and silicone oil. The materials are tested using...

...Tarek Ragab; Cemal Basaran The unravelling of (10, 10) and (18, 0) single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is simulated using molecular dynamics simulations at different temperatures. Two different schemes are proposed to simulate the unravelling; completely restraining the last atom in the chain...

... analysis of the particle size distributions in pristine and functionalized graphite nanoplatelets based on scanning electron microscopy showed an increasing degree of exfoliation of the functionalized material. We compare the performance of the functionalized graphite nanoplatelets and carbon nanotubes...

...Jong-Jin Park; Minoru Taya A thermal interface material (TIM) is a crucial material for transferring heat from a die to a heatsink. We developed a new TIM composed of carbon nanotubes, silicon thermal grease, and chloroform. The thermal impedance of the TIM was measured using a new device based...
