Theoretical calculations have predicted that individual Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWNT) have extremely high thermal conductivity (around 6.6 × 104 W/m-K). The feasibility of constructing practical devices using the above mentioned properties, is critically dependent on the ability to synthesize high-thermal-conducting films. Highly conducting films would be of great use as heat sinks for the next generation of integrated chips. Excessive heating is currently a very serious problem in the…

Studies of nanocomposites of carbon nanotubes and a negative dielectric anisotropy liquid crystal.
TLDR
Results are interpreted as arising from the LC-CNT surface interaction pinning the orientational order uniformly along the CNT, without pining the position of the 9OO4 molecule, leading to a net ordering effect for all phases.

Specific heat and thermal conductivity measurements for anisotropic and random macroscopic composites of cobalt nanowires.
TLDR
The thermal conductivity for random composites (κ(R) follows a bulk-like behavior though it is greatly reduced in magnitude, exhibiting a broad maximum near 365 K indicating the onset of boundary-phonon scattering, and the specific heat measured with the heat flow parallel to the Co NW alignment is significantly reduced.
Steady heat conduction-based thermal conductivity measurement of single walled carbon nanotubes thin film using a micropipette thermal sensor.
TLDR
A high precision micropipette thermal sensor fabricated with a sensing tip size varying from 2 μm to 5 μm and capable of measuring thermal fluctuation with resolution of ±0.01 K was used to measure the temperature gradient across the suspended carbon nanotubes film.

TLDR
Single-walled carbon nanotubes were studied by (13)C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and the fast-relaxing component, assigned to metallic tubes, followed the relaxation behavior expected in metals, and the density-of-states at the Fermi level increased with decreasing tube diameter.
