Both of features are very useful. Heatsinks, spacecraft... all sorts of awesome uses.
- dogma1138 10y agoThe thermal conductivity is just because it's carbon, you can use other forms of carbon like diamond which also have about 10 times the thermal conductivity of copper. Diamond is used sometimes in thermal pastes and adhesives one of its disadvantages however is that it's quite abrasive so it cannot be used on naked silicon dies or in applications that require thermal grease and are hence under stress, I would suspect that other nanoforms of carbon are more or less just as abrasive as diamond so they would have similar restrictions.
