Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The construction of a three-dimensional (3D) compactly interconnected carbon nanotube (CNT) network could offer a substantial increase in the thermal conductivity of the polymeric nanocomposite. In order to achieve desirable 3D conductive architectures in the polymeric matrix, a facilitated latex technique was employed to coat multi-walled CNT (MWCNT) onto micro-sized polymeric powders. The microstructure and rheological characterization study were conducted to evaluate the internal distribution of MWCNTs within the polymeric matrices. The crystallinity of the polymer, the kinetics of crystallization, and the influence of surface functionalization on thermal conductivity were also investigated. The selected steroid-based surfactant (sodium cholate) could improve the interfacial coupling of CNT-CNT and CNT-polymer to reduce the interfacial thermal resistances. Meanwhile, the 3D architecture of MWCNTs could provide a phonon transport pathway and accelerate the recrystallization process of semi-crystalline polymers. MWCNTs and the surfactant had a synergic effect on the enhancement of thermal conductivity of the nanocomposites.
