Morphology effects on non-isotropic thermal conduction of aligned single- and multi-walled carbon nanotubes in polymer nanocomposites

Carbon nanotube (CNT)−CNT contact and CNT distribution effects on anisotropic thermal transport in aligned CNT−polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) are studied using an off-lattice Monte Carlo numerical simulation. Inter-CNT contact and the associated thermal boundary resistance are shown here to significa...
