The stable and homogeneneous aqueous suspension of carbon nanotubes was prepared in this study. The stability of the nanofluids was improved greatly due to the use of a new dispersant, humic acid. The thermal conductivity of the aqueous suspension was measured with the 3ω method. The experimental results showed that the thermal conductivity of the suspensions increases with the temperature and also is nearly proportional to the loading of the nanoparticles. The thermal conductivity enhancement of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) suspensions is better than that of the multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) suspensions. Especially for a volume fraction of 0.3846% SWNTs, the thermal conductivity is enhanced by 40.5%. Furthermore, the results at 30°C match well with Jang and Choi’s model.

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were used as filler to enhance thermal conductivity of Ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) polymers. In order to study the thermal conductivity of the MWNTs/EPDM composites in three different directions, an experiment was conducted by the heat probe method. The results show the general average thermal conductivity of MWNTs/EPDM composites is 0.323 W/m•K，which is significantly higher than EPDM polymers. The maximum difference of thermal conductivity between two directions is 8.7% relative to the general average, indicating obvious anisotropic behavior.
