Orientated carbon nanotube composite, process for producing orientated carbon nanotube, and, produced using orientated carbon nanotube composite, pneumatic tire, wheel for vehicle, tire wheel assembly and disk brake
First Claim
1. A carbon nanotube orientated composite in which carbon nanotubes are orientated in a matrix having a heat conductivity lower than that of the carbon nanotube in a given direction, and at least a part of the carbon nanotubes are contacted with each other to become continuous from one end to the other end between both ends in the orientated direction.

Abstract
A carbon nanotube orientated composite formed by orientating carbon nanotubes in a given direction in a matrix having a heat conductivity lower than that of carbon nanotube, in which at least a part of carbon nanotubes are contacted with each other to be continuous from one end to the other end between both ends in the orientated direction, is provided as a material having a heat conductivity considerably higher than that of copper, aluminum or the like or a material to be disposed in rubber material having a low heat releasing characteristic to considerably improve the heat conduction, and also there are provided a method of producing the same as well as a pneumatic tire, a wheel for a vehicle, a tire-wheel assembly and a disc brake using this material.
