From: Thermal Properties of Carbon Nanotube–Copper Composites for Thermal Management Applications
Predictions given by the effective medium approach [Eq. (1a) and (1b)] for the thermal conductivity of CNT/Cu composites as a function of CNT volume fraction. The solid line is for the ideal case without the interface thermal resistance. The dotted lines are theoretical values considering the effect of interface thermal resistance. The full squares represent the experimental data
