Abstract:
1. A molding compound comprising: a resin; a filler; and a carbon nano-tube dispersion having a plurality of carbon nano-tubes, the plurality of carbon nano-tubes having surfaces that are chemically modified by a functional group to chemically bridge the surfaces of the carbon nano-tubes and the resin to improve adhesion between the carbon nano-tubes and the resin and to reduce agglomeration between various ones of the plurality of carbon nano-tubes, the chemical modification including a silane coupling agent anchored at one end to surfaces of the plurality of carbon nano-tubes to result in C—O—Si covalent bonding at the surfaces of the carbon nano-tubes, an opposing end of the silane coupling agent being bonded to the functional group.
