Heat transfer at solid-solid interface is very fascinating where no one knows the full mechanism which has a huge impact in many applications in engineering and science. In many kinds of interfaces, we treat a van der Waals contact of perfectly-smooth surfaces by using multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Their thermal contact resistance (TCR) is estimated by comparing measured thermal conductivity of CNT specimen and numerical simulation result. The TCR per unit area is estimated as 1.58∼3.33×10−8 m2K/W at room temperature in vacuum, which is much higher than our previous result in air. It was also found that TCR is inversely proportional with the temperature to the 1.92th power different from the simple phonon model represented by the diffuse mismatch model.

We present a method for measuring the thermal conductivity and the thermal contact resistance between the film and the substrate of vertically-aligned single-walled carbon nanotubes (VA-SWNTs) grown on Si substrate by ACCVD (Alcohol Catalytic Chemical Vapor Deposition) method, utilizing temperature dependence of the Raman spectrum obtained from SWNTs. The method utilizes the excitation laser of the Raman system to heat the VA-SWNT film and measure the temperature simultaneously. The method finds the thermal conductivity of the VA-SWNT film to be around 1 Wm−1K−1 and the thermal contact resistance between the substrate and the film to be around 10−5∼10−6 m2KW−1. The obtained film thermal conductivity is converted into equivalent thermal conductivity of an individual SWNT, whose value is several tens of Wm−1K−1, and is more than an order of magnitude smaller than the reports on individual SWNTs.

This paper investigates the structure, length, and percentage of functional groups of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNT) depending on the time taken for functionalization in HNO3 and H2SO4 mixture. The carbon nanotube content and influence of functionalization time on mechanical properties of polymer composite materials based on epoxy matrix are studied. The extreme dependencies of mechanical properties of carbon nanotube functionalization time of polymer composites were established. The rise in tensile strength of obtained composites reaches 102% and elastic modulus reaches 227% as compared to that of unfilled polymer. The composites exhibited best mechanical properties by including carbon nanotube with 0.5 h functionalization time.
