摘要
The electrical and thermal conductivities of epoxy composites containing 0.005-0.5 wt% of single-walled (SWNTs) or multi-walled (MWNTs) carbon nanotubes have been studied. The MWNT composites had an electrical percolation threshold of < 0.005 wt%, whereas the thermal conductivity of the same samples increased very modestly as a function of the filler content. In the case of the SWNT composites, the electrical percolation thresholds were higher (0.05-0.23 wt%) whereas the thermal conductivity was lower than that of the pristine epoxy.
