The sheets were either collected directly during synthesis or produced by dispersion and filtration. Differences between the effective thermal conductivities of filtrationproduced BNNT buckypaper (~1.5 W m -1 K -1) and lower-density as-synthesized sheets (~0.75 W m -1 K -1 ), which are both porous materials, were primarily due to their density. The measured results indicate similar thermal conductivity, in the range of 7 to 12 W m -1 K -1, for the BNNT network in these sheets. High BNNT-content composites (~30 wt.% BNNTs) produced by epoxy impregnation of the porous BNNT network gave 2 to 3 W m -1 K -1 , more than 10 the baseline epoxy. The combination of manufacturability, thermal conductivity, and electrical insulation offers exciting potential for electrically insulating, thermally conductive coatings and packaging.
