Abstract
A thermally and electrically conductive structure comprises a carbon nanotube () having an outer surface () and a carbon coating () covering at least a portion of the outer surface of the carbon nanotube. The carbon coating may be applied to the carbon nanotube by providing a nitrile-containing polymer, coating the carbon nanotube with the nitrile-containing polymer, and pyrolyzing the nitrile-containing polymer in order to form the carbon coating on the carbon nanotube. The carbon nanotube may further be coated with a low contact resistance layer () exterior to the carbon coating and a metal layer () exterior to the low contact resistance layer.
