Abstract
Surface exothermic chemical reaction was amplified by the carbon nanotube film on a polymer substrate. Heat was transferred along the nanotubes with high thermal conductivity/low heat capacity and fed back to the reactants, leading to the amplification of reaction rate, while suppressing perpendicular heat transfer to the thermally insulating substrate.
