An ideal composite film based on a carbon nanotube (CNT) array for thermal management applications is prepared using “in‐situ injection molding”. The aligned CNTs with their tips protruding out of both surfaces form ideal thermal conducting paths between surfaces. Much better thermal conductivity improvements can be achieved at low CNT loadings compared with dispersed CNT composites.
