DYNAMIC THERMAL INTERFACE MATERIAL

摘要

Aspects of the invention provide compositions that include carbon nanotubes dispersed within nanographite particles, and that have useful thermal properties. Certain compositions have high thermal conductivities (e.g., high thermal conductivities at ambient temperature). Certain compositions have a temperature dependent thermal conductivity that reversibly increases with temperature. Certain compositions are useful for heat transfer and can be used as thermal interface material, for example, in the context of computer and/or power generating devices.
