Investigation of thermal conductivity coefficient of aqueous suspension with carbon nanotubes

The dependence of thermal conductivity of suspension on the concentration of single-walled carbon nanotubes was investigated. Mass concentration of nanotubes ranged from 0.05 to 0.5%. Sodium dodecyl sulfate was used as a surfactant. The enhancement of 34.8% were achieved for thermal conductivity coefficient of suspensions at 0.5wt.% of CNT.
