Nanotechnology Now - News Story: Nanotube forests take off the heat

Home > News > Nanotube forests take off the heat

July 28th, 2005

Abstract:
A composite material made from carbon nanotubes embedded in a polymer matrix can whisk away heat, Chinese researchers have shown. They say that their heat-sink material might help with the problem of thermal management on silicon chips. The researchers believe that with a little more tweaking, their composite should perform better than existing 'thermal interface materials' used to dissipate heat.
