| Research Abstract |
Carbon nanotubes are widely used to improve the material properties of polymers such as the mechanical and electrical behavior of nanocomposites. The thermal conductivity of carbon nanotubes-polymer composites has been investigated using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. Parallelization of Monte Carlo method(MDDMC method) has been also developed, which is suitable for distributed memory parallel computers.
