In the present study, twenty representative volume elements (RVEs) were modeled by assuming that the CNTs are distributed homogeneously in the copper (Cu) matrix. It is assumed that each RVE contains different pattern of CNTs distribution while the direction, diameter and length of CNTs are held constant. The effect of the CNTs-matrix interfacial resistance was also negligible. Therefore, it was observed that the predicted values of thermal conductivity would reach to the upper-bound rule of mixtures. © 2014 Owned by the authors, published by EDP Sciences. date: 2014 publisher: EDP Sciences official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84905041858&doi=10.1051%2fmatecconf%2f20141304011&partnerID=40&md5=e2fd81980318572e49762143faa8387b id_number: 10.1051/matecconf/20141304011 full_text_status: none publication: MATEC Web of Conferences volume: 13 place_of_pub: Kuala Lumpur refereed: TRUE issn: 2261236X citation: Afrooza, I.E. and Binti Megat Yusoff, P.S.M. and Ahmad, F. and Muhsan, A.S.
