The study of carbon nanotube's length in reference to its thermal conductivity by molecular dynamics approach

Current paper focuses on the influence of carbon nanotube (CNT) length on its thermal conductivity. The powerful technique which is molecular modeling was used. The non-equilibrium molecular dynamics was implemented in commercially available software. The eight single-walled carbon nanotubes from 50 nm to 400 nm was investigated. The obtained results show the trend of increasing thermal conductivity for longer nanotubes.
