Abstract :
Because of their unique structure, novel properties and potential applications, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted significant attention since their discovery. The thermal properties of CNTs are of interest for basic science as well as for technological applications. In the present paper, our experimental studies of the thermal transport properties of CNTs in recent years were introduced. The measurement techniques and the obtained results of the thermal transport properties of one individual CNTs, CNT arrays, CNT nanostructures and CNT composites were present. The mechanism of heat transport in CNTs has been further discussed.
