Multi-walled carbon nanotube (CNT) was hybridized with aluminum hydroxide utilizing aluminum trichloride hexahydrate as a precursor to prepare a filler that can be utilized for a thermally conductive yet electrically insulative polymer composite. The thermal conductivity of an alumina sphere/thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) mixture (100 parts) was enhanced 2 to 3-fold when 5 parts of this hybrid material (Al.CNT hybrid) was added as a synergizer for thermal conduction. This enhancement was better than that by CNT. Moreover, the electrical conductivity increase due to the added Al-CNT hybrid was marginal, whereas the increase was striking when CNT itself was added instead.
