Carbon nanotube (CNT) forests or sheets coated and/or bonded at room temperature with one or more coatings were measured to produce thermal resistances that are on par with conventional metallic solders. These results were achieved by reducing the high contact resistance at CNT tips and/or sidewalls, which has encumbered the development of high-performance thermal interface materials based on CNTs. Resistances as low as 4.9±0.3 mm.sup.2-K/W were achieved for the entire polymer-coated CNT interface structure.

Provided are heat insulating sheets that may include a resin film having a metal layer and a nonwoven fabric including resin fiber, wherein the resin film and the nonwoven fabric are joined by through holes penetrating the resin film and the nonwoven fabric, and wherein a ratio (La/Lb) of an average distance (La) between the through holes in the resin film to an average distance (Lb) between the through holes in the nonwoven fabric is 1.001 or more and 1.10 or less. Further provided are manufacturing methods of a heat insulating sheet that may include a resin film having a metal layer and a nonwoven fabric including a resin fiber.

A sealing tape roll comprises a sealing tape of flexible, compressible foam with a plurality of interior barrier layers, wherein the sealing tape is wound up into the sealing tape roll around an axis extending transversely to a longitudinal direction of the sealing tape in such a way that side surfaces of the sealing tape form end surfaces of the sealing tape roll. The sealing tape comprises a plurality of sealing tape sections, which, in an unwound state of the sealing tape, are arranged in a row in the longitudinal direction, wherein a barrier layer of the plurality of barrier layers is arranged between each pair of adjacent sealing tape sections of the plurality of sealing tape sections. The plurality of barrier layers extend over at least 50% of a width of the sealing tape roll between the opposite end surfaces of the sealing tape roll.
