Contact mechanics and thermal conductance of carbon nanotube array interfaces (2009, background): “Moreover, engineering CNT array interfaces such that the total array deformation, tm–t, is greater than the average peak-to-valley height of asperities Rz on the surface in contact with the free CNT ends can facilitate increased interface contact by minimizing adverse effects of surface roughness [1”

Thermal conduction phenomena in carbon nanotubes and related nanostructured materials (2013, background): “…applied pressure (Xu and Fisher, 2006a, 2006b; Cola et al., 2007; Cola, Xu, and Fisher, 2007), most likely due to the effects of increasing the fraction of CNTs within the array contributing to heat conduction and increasing the real contact area (Xu and Fisher, 2006a; Cola, Xu, and Fisher, 2007).”
Effects of carbon nanotube coating on flow boiling in a micro-channel (2009, methodology): “CNT growth is achieved with the aid of a tri-layer metal catalyst [16] in combination with H2 and CH4 as feed gases in a microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition chamber (MPCVD).”
Energy storage and solidification of paraffin phase change material embedded with graphite nanofibers (2011, methodology): “Both [24] and [25] indicate that nanotubes effectively enhance the thermal conductivity of the PCM.”
