Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method for making a thermal interface material. A carbon nanotube array on a substrate is provided. The carbon nanotube array includes a plurality of carbon nanotubes substantially parallel to each other and substantially perpendicular to the substrate. The carbon nanotubes of the carbon nanotube array are slanted toward a central axis of the carbon nanotube array. A liquid matrix material is compounded with the carbon nanotube array. Additionally, the liquid matrix material is solidified.
