A practical dimensionless equation for the thermal conductivity of carbon nanotubes and CNT arrays

Experimental results reported in the last decade on the thermal conductivity of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have shown a fairly divergent behavior. An underlying intrinsic consistency was believed to exist in spite of the divergence in the thermal conductivity data of various CNTs. A dimenisonless equat...
