Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electronic Chip cooling has become an important issue with the ever increasing transistor densities and computing power demands. One of the crucial components of the thermal management system is high-performance thermal interface materials (TIMs), the materials connecting various solid-solid interfaces in packaged electronic devices. Ideal TIMs have the characteristics of high mechanical compliance and high intrinsic thermal conductivity. Vertically Aligned Carbon Nanotube (CNT) arrays are promising for advanced TIMs since they possesses both characters yet poor contact to the target surface can limit the overall performance. Recently, indium-assisted bonding has been found to enhance the contact conductance by a factor of 10, which inspires a comprehensive study of the CNT-array thermal transport properties. This thesis presents a systematic study on the thermal transport and mechanical properties of CNT arrays. The CNT array density and length are controlled via the thermal annealing duration and ethylene exposure duration in water-assisted chemical vapor deposition synthesis. The thermal transport properties are measured accurately by phase-sensitive photo thermal reflectance thermometry. The thermal contact conductance between CNT array and Glass increased close to linearly by increasing the volume fraction of the CNT array. The increase of volume fraction can potentially increase the number of contacting tubes which further enhance the contact area. In addition, the effective thermal conductivity increases monotonically with the increase of volume fraction of the CNT array. Quantitatively, it has been found that the increasing trend of thermal conductivity is larger than the increasing trend of volume fraction. The strain and buckling behavior of CNT arrays under compressive stress were systematically studied. It has been verified both experimentally and analytically that buckling in lower density CNT array results in a further decrease of thermal conductivity. The thermal conductivity of CNT array decreases as the structure changes from vertically aligned to buckled, while the thermal conductivity rises back as the buckling structure becomes more compact. The rise of thermal conductivity with the buckling structure is attributed to the rise of the thermal contact conductance between tubes. The thermal contact conductance between CNT array and glass increases as the compressive stress increases to certain degree, while further increase of stress causes fatigue at the contacts, which decreases the contact conductance. These results demonstrate how thermal transport properties vary as a function of CNT array density and as a function of the strain of CNT array. With such trends, the thermal properties can be further increased by understanding the underlying mechanisms for such trends.

This book was released on 2015-04-30 with total page 684 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since their discovery in 1977, the evolution of conducting polymers has revolutionized modern science and technology. These polymers enjoy a special status in the area of materials science yet they are not as popular among young readers or common people when compared to other materials like metals, paper, plastics, rubber, textiles, ceramics and composites like concrete. Most importantly, much of the available literature in the form of papers, specific review articles and books is targeted either at advanced readers (scientists / technologists / engineers / senior academicians) or for those who are already familiar with the topic (doctoral / postdoctoral scholars). For a beginner or even school / college students, such compilations are bit difficult to access / digest. In fact, they need proper introduction to the topic of conducting polymers including their discovery, preparation, properties, applications and societal impact, using suitable examples and already known principles/knowledge/phenomenon. Further, active participation of readers in terms of "question & answers", "fill-in-the-blanks", "numerical" along with suitable answer key is necessary to maintain the interest and to initiate the "thought process". The readers also need to know about the drawbacks and any hazards of such materials. Therefore, I believe that a comprehensive source on the science / technology of conducting polymers which maintains a link between grass root fundamentals and state-of-the-art R&D is still missing from the open literature.

Download or read book Study of the Thermal Conductivity in Metal coated Carbon Nanotubes Using Molecular Dynamics Atomistic Simulations written by Dinesh Kumar Bommidi and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To improve the energy efficiency in many electronics and machinery applications, advanced Thermal Interface Materials (TIMs) with high heat dissipation ability and more pliability must be employed. Among a variety of promising choices to make the advanced TIMs, Vertically Aligned Carbon Nanotube (VACNT) turfs (arrays) outstand with their exceptional mechanical and thermal properties. Individual CNTs are quite flexible due to their quasi-one-dimensional structure and presence of strong sp2 bonds among the carbon atoms gives them great strength. Also, the dominance of ballistic phonon transport in the CNTs endows them superior thermal conductivity when compared to many metallic substrates. However, the defects in CNTs, misaligned axial contacts between CNTs in a CNT turf, and the CNTs/substrate resistance reduce the practical thermal conductivity of the material. It is hypothesized that the application of metal coatings on each CNT in a CNT turf would enhance the overall thermal conductivity of the material and improve the connectivity between the CNT turfs and the metallic substrate. As the diameter of the CNTs in a CNT turf is in the order of several nanometers, Molecular Dynamics (MD) atomistic simulations is selected as a tool which provide a deeper understanding in studying the thermal transport at the fundamental level. Thermal conduction in the metals is electron dominant whereas regular MD procedures are incapable of considering the energy exchange between these electrons and phonons. Therefore, a different mechanism called Two-temperature Model (TTM) coupled with Non-Equilibrium MD is used in this study and proved to be effective. MD code to procure the coefficient of thermal conductivity (kappa) was developed and the effects of the metal thickness, number of walls in the CNT and the role of diameter of CNT on kappa of the metal-coated CNTs was individually investigated. It was shown that the increase in the thickness of metal coating would impede the kappa of individual CNTs following an inverse power trend. Also, it was found that among the number of shells in the CNT and its diameter, the former parameter tends to contribute more towards the thermal transport than the latter. The results of this work are capable of predicting the optimal design structure for metal-coated VACNT composite for advanced thermal management applications.

This book was released on 2020-04-15 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nanocomposites with Carbon-based nanofillers (e.g., carbon nanotubes, graphene sheets and nanoribbons etc.) form a class of extremely promising materials for thermal applications. In addition to exceptional material properties, the thermal conductivity of the carbon-based nanofillers can be higher than any other known material, suggesting the possibility to engineer nanocomposites that are both lightweight and durable, and have unique thermal properties. This potential is hindered by thermal boundary resistance (TBR) to heat transfer at the interface between nanoinclusions and the matrix, and by the difficulty to control the dispersion pattern and the orientation of the nanoinclusions. Thermal Behaviour and Applications of Carbon-Based Nanomaterials: Theory, Methods and Applications explores heat transfer in nanocomposites, discusses techniques predicting and modeling the thermal behavior of carbon nanocomposites at different scales, and methods for engineering applications of nanofluidics and heat transfer. The chapters combine theoretical explanation, experimental methods and computational analysis to show how carbon-based nanomaterials are being used to optimise heat transfer. The applications-focused emphasis of this book makes it a valuable resource for materials scientists and engineers who want to learn more about nanoscale heat transfer.

Meyyappan, Chief Scientist for Exploration Technology NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, California, USA: "...there is critical need for a book to summarize the status of the field but more importantly to lay out the principles behind the technology. This is what Professor Arvind Agarwal and his co-workers ... have done here." Carbon Nanotubes: Reinforced Metal Matrix Composites reflects the authors’ desire to share the benefits of nanotechnology with the masses by developing metal matrix carbon nanotube (MM-CNT) composites for large-scale applications. Multiwall carbon nanotubes can now be produced on a large scale and at a significantly reduced cost. The book explores potential applications and applies the author’s own research to highlight critical developmental issues for different MM-CNT composites—and then outline novel solutions. With this problem-solving approach, the book explores: Advantages, limitations, and the evolution of processing techniques used for MM-CNT composites Characterization techniques unique to the study of MM-CNT composites—and the limitations of these methods Existing research on different MM-CNT composites, presented in useful tables that include composition, processing method, quality of CNT dispersion, and properties The micro-mechanical strengthening that results from adding CNT The applicability of micro-mechanics models in MM-CNT composites Significance of chemical stability for carbon nanotubes in the metal matrix as a function of processing, and its impact on CNT/metal interface and mechanical properties Computational studies that have not been sufficiently covered although they are essential to research and development The critical issue of CNT dispersion in the metal matrix, as well as a unique way to quantify CNT distribution and subsequently improve control of the processing parameters for obtaining improved properties Carbon Nanotubes: Reinforced Metal Matrix Composites paints a vivid picture of scientific and application achievements in this field. Exploring the mechanisms through which CNTs are enhancing the properties of different metal-based composites, the authors provide a roadmap to help researchers develop MM-CNT composites and choose potential materials for use in emerging areas of technology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the integration scale of transistors/devices in a chip/system keeps increasing, effective cooling has become more and more important in microelectronics. To address the thermal dissipation issue, one important solution is to develop thermal interface materials with higher performance. Carbon nanotubes, given their high intrinsic thermal and mechanical properties, and their high thermal and chemical stabilities, have received extensive attention from both academia and industry as a candidate for high-performance thermal interface materials.\r : The thesis is devoted to addressing some challenges related to the potential application of carbon nanotubes as thermal interface materials in microelectronics. These challenges include: 1) controlled synthesis of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes on various bulk substrates via chemical vapor deposition and the fundamental understanding involved; 2) development of a scalable annealing process to improve the intrinsic properties of synthesized carbon nanotubes; 3) development of a state-of-art assembling process to effectively implement high-quality vertically aligned carbon nanotubes into a flip-chip assembly; 4) a reliable thermal measurement of intrinsic thermal transport property of vertically aligned carbon nanotube films; 5) improvement of interfacial thermal transport between carbon nanotubes and other materials.\r : The major achievements are summarized.\r : 1. Based on the fundamental understanding of catalytic chemical vapor deposition processes and the growth mechanism of carbon nanotube, fast synthesis of high-quality vertically aligned carbon nanotubes on various bulk substrates (e.g., copper, quartz, silicon, aluminum oxide, etc.) has been successfully achieved. The synthesis of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes on the bulk copper substrate by the thermal chemical vapor deposition process has set a world record. In order to functionalize the synthesized carbon nanotubes while maintaining their good vertical alignment, an in situ functionalization process has for the first time been demonstrated. The in situ functionalization renders the vertically aligned carbon nanotubes a proper chemical reactivity for forming chemical bonding with other substrate materials such as gold and silicon.\r : 2. An ultrafast microwave annealing process has been developed to reduce the defect density in vertically aligned carbon nanotubes. Raman and thermogravimetric analyses have shown a distinct defect reduction in the CNTs annealed in microwave for 3 min. Fibers spun from the as-annealed CNTs, in comparison with those from the pristine CNTs, show increases of ~35% and ~65%, respectively, in tensile strength (~0.8 GPa) and modulus (~90 GPa) during tensile testing; an ~20% improvement in electrical conductivity (~80000 S m−1) was also reported. The mechanism of the microwave response of CNTs was discussed. Such an microwave annealing process has been extended to the preparation of reduced graphene oxide.\r : 3. Based on the fundamental understanding of interfacial thermal transport and surface chemistry of metals and carbon nanotubes, two major transfer/assembling processes have been developed: molecular bonding and metal bonding. Effective improvement of the interfacial thermal transport has been achieved by the interfacial bonding.\r : 4. The thermal diffusivity of vertically aligned carbon nanotube (VACNT, multi-walled) films was measured by a laser flash technique, and shown to be ~30 mm2 s−1 along the tube-alignment direction. The calculated thermal conductivities of the VACNT film and the individual CNTs are ~27 and ~540 W m−1 K−1, respectively. The technique was verified to be reliable although a proper sampling procedure is critical. A systematic parametric study of the effects of defects, buckling, tip-to-tip contacts, packing density, and tube-tube interaction on the thermal diffusivity was carried out. Defects and buckling decreased the thermal diffusivity dramatically. An increased packing density was beneficial in increasing the collective thermal conductivity of the VACNT film; however, the increased tube-tube interaction in dense VACNT films decreased the thermal conductivity of the individual CNTs. The tip-to-tip contact resistance was shown to be ~1×10−7 m2 K W−1. The study will shed light on the potential application of VACNTs as thermal interface materials in microelectronic packaging.\r : 5. A combined process of in situ functionalization and microwave curing has been developed to effective enhance the interface between carbon nanotubes and the epoxy matrix. Effective medium theory has been used to analyze the interfacial thermal resistance between carbon nanotubes and polymer matrix, and that between graphite nanoplatlets and polymer matrix.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ultralong multiwalled carbon nanotube arrays (forests) were grown by chloride-mediated chemical vapor deposition, in which iron chloride was used as a catalyst precursor. Highly spinnable millimeter-long arrays were grown with a very rapid growth rate of 100 μm/min. By stacking long-lasting carbon nanotube (CNT) webs, unidirectionally aligned CNT sheets were fabricated. The sheet was highly anisotropic in electrical and thermal properties and due to high alignment of the CNTs in the sheets. CNT yarns were fabricated using the millimeter-long CNTs and a detailed analysis of various postspin processes, including postspin twisting and multiply twisting, and their effect on CNT yarns were studied. Mechanical properties clearly depended on the dimensions of CNTs, where thinner and longer CNTs led to strong and stiff yarns. Large contacting surface areas in the yarns, brought by closer packing with high-aspect-ratio CNTs, were effective for higher van der Waals interaction leading to higher tensile properties. Growth of millimeter-long highly spinnable CNT arrays and the material properties of tailored large-scale CNT structures, including unidirectionally aligned sheets and spun yarns, are described.

Download or read book Novel Carbon Nanotube Thermal Interfaces for Microelectronics written by Premkumar Nagarathnam and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thermal interface layer can be a limiting element in the cooling of microelectronic devices. Conventional solders, pastes and pads are no longer sufficient to handle the high heat fluxes associated with connecting the device to the sink. Carbon nanotubes(CNTs) have been proposed as a possible thermal interface material(TI M), due to their thermal and mechanical properties, and prior research has established the effectiveness of vertically arranged CNT arrays to match the capabilities of the best conventional TIMs. However, to reach commercial applicability, many improvements need to be made in terms of improving thermal and mechanical properties as well as cost and manufacturing ease of the layer. Prior work demonstrated a simple method to transfer and bond CNT arrays through the use of a nanometer thin layer of gold as a bonding layer. This study sought to improve on that technique. By controlling the rate of deposition, the bonding temperature was reduced. By using different metals and thinner layers, the potential cost of the technique was reduced. Through the creation of a patterned array, a phase change element was able to be incorporated into the technique. The various interfaces created are characterized mechanically and thermally.
