摘要
Carbon nanotube array (CNTA)/Epoxy composites were prepared by blending epoxy resin solution with CNTA. The carbon nanotube arrays were dissolved and dispersed in Epoxy solution, and the composites were cured at 60 oC for 4 h. After curing, the Epoxy film was infiltrated in the CNTA film. The carbon nanotubes in the CNTA film can still be kept in a neat arrangement. On this account, the thermal conductivity of the composites along the axis was improved. The direction of the axis was the axial direction of the carbon nanotubes. It is found that the thermal conductivity of the CNTA/Epoxy composites increase to 2.24 W/(m·K), about 10 times that of neat epoxy resin. The electrical conductivity of composite materials is still maintained at a relatively low value of 10-8 S/cm. To sum up, compared to addition of random dispersed CNTs or other nanofillers, the CNTA can enhance the thermal conductivity of the composites markedly. Meanwhile, the electrical conductivity remains in a relative low value, which is beneficial for application in electronic packaging industry. © 2016, Zhejiang University Press. All right reserved.
