چکیده
Vitaliy Datsyuk, a Svitlana Trotsenko and Stephanie Reich a Freie Universität Berlin, FB Physik, Institut für Experimental Physik, Arnimallee 14, 14195 Berlin, Germany Highly thermally conductive carbon nanotube/polybenzimidazole polymer nanofiber composites were produced by core-shell electrospinning. The in-plane thermal conductivity increased by factor of 50 for 1.94 %wt. carbon nanotubes in the composite nanofibers. The high thermal conductivity results from the excellent nanotube alignment in the core of the polymer fiber and the use of liquid crystal polybenzimidazole as a matrix and shell polymer.

On the Thermal Conductivity of Carbon Nanotube/Polypropylene Nanocomposites by Finite Element Method
In this paper, finite element method is used to obtain thermal conductivity coefficients of single-walled carbon nanotube reinforced polypropylene. For this purpose, the two-dimensional representative volume elements are modeled. The effect of different parameters such as nanotube dispersion pattern, nanotube volume percentage in polymer matrix, interphase thickness between nanotube and surroun...
متن کاملMeasuring the thermal conductivity of a single carbon nanotube.
Although the thermal properties of millimeter-sized carbon nanotube mats and packed carbon nanofibers have been readily measured, measurements for a single nanotube are extremely difficult. Here, we report a novel method that can reliably measure the thermal conductivity of a single carbon nanotube using a suspended sample-attached T-type nanosensor. Our experimental results show that the therm...

Carboxylic functionalization (-COOH groups) of carbon nanotubes is known to improve their dispersion properties and increase the electrical conductivity of carbon-nanotube-polymer nanocomposites. We have studied experimentally the effects of this type of functionalization on the thermal conductivity of the nanocomposites. It was found that while even small quantities of carbon nanotubes (~1 wt ...
متن کاملAn Improvement in Thermal and Rheological Properties of Water-based Drilling Fluids Using Multiwall Carbon Nanotube (MWCNT)
Designing drilling fluids for drilling in deep gas reservoirs and geothermal wells is a major challenge. Cooling drilling fluids and preparing stable mud with high thermal conductivity are of great concern. Drilling nanofluids, i.e. a low fraction of carbon nanotube (CNT) well dispersed in mud, may enhance the mixture thermal conductivity compared to the base fluids. Thus, they are potentially ...

Carbon nanotube polymer actuators were developed using composite nanofiber sheets fabricated by multi-walled carbon nanotubes(MWCNTs) and poly (vinylidene fluorideco-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP). Nanofiber sheets were fabricated by electrospinning method. The effect of flow rate and polymer concentration on nanofiber formation were verified for optimum condition for fabricating nanofiber she...
