Ultrahigh Thermal Conductivity of Interface Materials by Silver‐Functionalized Carbon Nanotube Phonon Conduits

Abstract: An ultrahigh thermal conductivity (κ = 160 W m(-1) K(-1) ) of thermal interface materials is achieved with a high enhancement factor (96). A small amount (2.3 vol%) of 1D multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) with high κ constructs effective phonon transport pathways between microscale silver-flake islands, and a solid phonon transport junction is realized by the coalescence of silver nanoparticles pre-functionalized on the MWNTs.

“…[60] Figure 9 presents the fabrication process of flexible thermoelectric generator (TEG) by screen printing. [64] For screen printing techniques, porous structures may be created during the printing process that can reduce the conductivity of printed parts. The authors demonstrated that the screen printing process helps to increase productivity of TEG.…”

“…Thermal interface materials (TIMs) are usually placed between the heated device and the thermal sink to fill the air‐filled voids to efficiently improve the heat transmission . Polymer composites have attracted extensive attention as TIMs because of their pervasive application . Thermal grease is the most widely used TIMs that is composed of a polymer matrix and inorganic filers with high thermal conductivity.…”

“…[1][2][3] For platelet-like or rodlike fillers with high aspect ratio such as natural graphite (NG), boron nitride (BN), carbon nanotube, silicon carbide (SiC), graphene, and so on, the thermal conductivity along the longitudinal direction of the fillers is usually much higher than that in the perpendicular direction.
