Graphene- and carbon nanotube (CNT)-based inks have been printed on relevant heat sink materials by Aerosol jet. The thickness of the layers varied between ~100 and ~1.500 nm. The inks’ viscosity ranged from <20 up to 600 cps at a solid content between 0.18 and 3% and wide particle sizes from 5 nm up to 5 µm. The printed layers could be interesting for rather high-power and high-temperature applications including thermal heat spreaders, resistive heaters, high-current carrying interconnectors, temperature sensors and ordnance fuze technology.
