Metal-Carbon Nanotube Composites for Enhanced Thermal Conductivity for Demanding or Critical Applications

This technology provides a carbon nanotube composite matrix which improves thermal conductivity and heat dissipation compared to existing commercially available material. Carbon nanotubes can be organized in a random or specific alignment to fit the needs of the application. Because the melting point of carbon nanotubes (> 2000F) far exceeds traditional metals the composite provides a material that can withstand higher temperatures is able to conduct heat at an accelerated rate. Applications: 1) IC (integrated circuit) boards 2) Electronic circuits 3) Aerospace and automotive industries 4) Metal forging 5) Building materials 6) Nuclear and standard power plant equipment

Benefits:

1) Increased heat tolerance 2) Increased thermal conduction/heat dissipation
