| Abstract | This presentation describes thermal transport processes at solid-solid material interfaces. An overview of applications in the electronics industry serves to motivate the subject, and then the basic diffusive and ballistic constriction theories are introduced. The addition of carbon nanotube arrays to solid-solid interfaces has been shown to improve heat transfer significantly, and these materials will serve as an example of enhanced interfacial transport with nanomaterials. Experimental techniques and results are reviewed, and a model that employs ballistic transport principles is introduced to interpret these results.
