Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method of implementing a carbon nanotube thermal interface material onto a heat sink that includes growing carbon nanotubes on said heat sink by chemical vapor deposition and compressing the carbon nanotubes onto metallic surfaces to increase a contact surface area between the carbon nanotubes and the metallic surfaces. The increase in the contact surface area is the area of the carbon nanotubes that is in contact with the metallic surfaces.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A double sided carbon nanotube structure comprising: a first carbon nanotube array having a first surface and a second surface, said first surface coated with a first film of elastomer; and a second carbon nanotube array having a first surface and a second surface, said first surface coated with a second film of elastomer; wherein the first surface of said first carbon nanotube array and the first surface of said second carbon nanotube array are bound to each other directly to form a double sided carbon nanotube structure having an elastomer interlayer with a thickness equal to the combined thicknesses of said first and said second films. 2. The double sided carbon nanotube structure of claim 1 , wherein the elastomer is polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). 3. The double sided carbon nanotube structure of claim 1 wherein said double sided carbon nanotube structure is a free-standing carbon nanotube film.
