Estimating the term…
A thermal interface material (40) includes a macromolecular material (32), and a plurality of carbon nanotubes (22) embedded in the macromolecular material uniformly. The thermal interface material includes a first surface (42) and an opposite second surface (44). Each carbon nanotube is open at both ends thereof, and extends from the first surface to the second surface of the thermal interface material. A method for manufacturing the thermal interface material includes the steps of: (a) forming an array of carbon nanotubes on a substrate; (b) submerging the carbon nanotubes in a liquid macromolecular material; (c) solidifying the liquid macromolecular material; and (d) cutting the solidified liquid macromolecular material to obtain the thermal interface material with the carbon nanotubes secured therein.
A thermal interface structure comprising:
A thermal interface material comprising:
A thermal interface material having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, the thermal interface material comprising a plurality of carbon nanotubes embedded in a macromolecular layer and extending from the first surface to the second surface according to a predetermined direction, the carbon nanotubes each having two open ends exposed out of the first and the second surfaces.
