Advanced composites, such as those used in aerospace applications, employ a high volume fraction of aligned stiff fibers embedded in high-performance polymers. Unlike advanced composites, polymer nanocomposites (...

Extremely High Thermal Conductivity of Aligned Carbon Nanotube-Polyethylene Composites

The ultra-low thermal conductivity of bulk polymers may be enhanced by combining them with high thermal conductivity materials such as carbon nanotubes. Different from random doping, we find that the aligned carbon nanotube-polyethylene composites has a high thermal conductivity by non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. The analyses indicate that the aligned composite not only take adv...

Electronic properties of carbon nanotube/fabric composites

Single walled carbon nanotube (SWNT)/fabric composite materials were manufactured using two simple manufacturing processes. The first method is direct deposition of SWNTs by either a spray method or by incubation; the other is a Quasi-Langmuir–Blodgett (QLB) transfer technique. The composite retains high mechanical strength (governed by the fabric), and good electrical properties (determined by...
