以定向碳纳米管(ACNT)阵列为骨架,利用化学气相渗(CVI)工艺制备了新型的定向碳纳米管/碳(ACNT/C)纳米复合材料.导热性能测试结果表明,密度为1.47g/cm^3的ACNT/C纳米复合材料的热扩散系数和热导率均比相同工艺条件下密度为1.50g/cm^3的传统C/C复合材料高4-6倍;经过2500℃热处理,ACNT/C的热导率接近140W/(m·K),而C/C仅为40W/(m·K)左右.这主要是由于CNT对热解炭结晶存在诱导作用,同时特殊的准一维结构也减少了热扩散时“声子”的散射.
Aligned carbon nanotubes reinforced carbon matrix(ACNT/C) nanocomposites were fabricated by chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) technology. With carbon fiber reinforced carbon ( C/C ) composites in the same process as contrast, thermal conductivities of the composites were tested by laser flash method. The results show that the thermal diffusivity and conductivity of ACNT/C ( about 1.47 g/cm^3 ) is all 4—6 times than that of C/C composites(about 1.50 g/cm^3). After heat treatment at 2 500℃, the thermal conductivity of ACNT/C can reach 140 W/( m · K) , and the thermal conductivity of C/C composites is only about 40 W/ (m · K). It was ascribed to that pyrocabon growing surround CNT shows a good crystallization and graphitizability, on the other hand, the quasi-one-dimensional long tubular graphitic structure can reduce phonon-phonon Umklapp scattering, and increase thermal conduction in ACNT/C nanocomposites at the same time.
