Abstract
An exemplary method for manufacturing a thermal interface material includes the steps of: providing a first substrate having a first surface and an opposite second substrate having an opposite second surface spaced apart a predetermined distance; forming a number of carbon nanotubes from one of the first the second surfaces; forming a composite material by filling interstices between the carbon nanotubes with a liquid state base material; curing the liquid state base material filled in the interstices between the carbon nanotubes; and removing the first and the second substrates from the composite material.
