摘要
We report the effects of multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) dispersions (<= 15 wt.%) on the electrical and thermal conductivities of an aluminoborosilicate glass-ceramic. The electrical conductivity was improved by a factor of similar to 10(6) and the thermal conductivity by similar to 70%. The uniform MWCNT distribution achieved with up to 10 wt.% MWCNT resulted in a relatively high electrical percolation threshold. Thermal conductivity was limited by the low thermal conductivities of the CVD MWCNTs, length reduction during processing and interfacial resistance. (C) 2011 Acta Materialia Inc.
