The density of the buckypapers was as high as 1.39 g cm−3, which is close to the ultimate density of ideal buckypapers. Then we measured the transport and mechanical properties of the buckypapers. Our results demonstrated that its electrical and thermal con- ductivities could be almost linearly improved by increasing its density. In particular, its superior thermal conductivity is nearly twice that of common metals, which enables it a lightweight and more efficient heat-transfer materials. The Young’s modulus of the buckypapers could reach a magnitude over 2 GPa, which is greatly improved compared with previous reported results. In view of this, our work provided a simple and convenient method to prepare high-density buckypapers with excellent transport and mechanical properties.
