Abstract
A method for manufacturing a thermal interface material includes the steps of: (a) forming an array of carbon nanotubes on a substrate; (b) submerging the carbon nanotubes in a liquid macromolecular material; (c) solidifying the liquid macromolecular material; and (d) cutting the solidified liquid macromolecular material, to obtain the thermal interface material with the carbon nanotubes secured therein.
