We know that the addition of CNTs improves thermal diffusivity, but what about the effect of temperature?
please have a look at the following papers:

Some of them may of some help
Dear Mr Banhegyi,
Thank you very much for your reply, these publications are of great help in my research.
You welcome. You can find much more by Google using the following simle query "carbon nanotube composite thermal conductivity temperature dependence". You can also use Google Science. Thjs is a richly researched area.
Yes, it is true, though I am interested in the thermal conductivity of polymer-based carbon nanofiber composites, and with this filler i do not find as much as with CNTs, also one of my questions is if i can use the same models of CNTs-based polymer composites for my composites, specifically the effective theory model reported by Nan et. al :

I have an old review paper on the dielectric properties of composites, which is analogous to electrical and thermal conductivity, but it is a summary of continuum theories, thus the temperature dependence appears only indirectly, through the temperature dependence of the component properties.
