Increase the packing density of vertically aligned carbon nanotube array for the application of thermal interface materials
To fulfill the potential of carbon nanotube (CNT) as thermal interface material (TIM), the packing density of CNT array needs improvement. In this work, two potential ways to increase the packing density of CNT array are tested. They are liquid precursor(LP)CVD and cycled catalyst deposition method....
