摘要
The effective thermal conductivity (K eff) of carbon nanotube (CNT) composites is affected by the thermal boundary resistance (TBR), the dispersion pattern, and geometry distribution of the CNTs. Traditional effective medium theories assume that CNTs are perfectly dispersed without considering TBR. In this work, we report the development of a new algorithm using CNTs with 3-D worm-like geometry and different persistence lengths. We describe how to obtain K eff using simulations of these realistic CNT configurations with off-lattice Monte Carlo simulation. The results are compared with straight cylinder models without effects of persistence length.
