Abstract

Abstract : The brazed interface between CNT arrays and a metal substrate is highlighted by Timothy S. Fischer and co‐workers in article number 1601042. CNT ends are immersed into the metal, forming a strong solid bond and transferring heat efficiently into the substrate (thus the red color). CNTs show some non‐uniform curvature, enabling thermomechanical compliance.
