Abstract
The thermal conductivity of bulk, self‐supporting boron nitride nanotube (BNNT) sheets composed of nominally 100% BNNTs oriented randomly in‐plane was measured by a steady‐state, parallel thermal conductance method. The sheets were either collected directly during synthesis or produced by dispersion and filtration. Differences between the effective thermal conductivities of filtration‐produced BNNT buckypaper (∼1.5 W m −1 K −1 ) and lower‐density as‐synthesized sheets (∼0.75 W m −1 K −1 ), which are both porous materials, were primarily due to their density. The measured results indicate similar thermal conductivity, in the range of 7–12 W m −1 K −1 , for the BNNT network in these sheets. High BNNT‐content composites (∼30 wt.% BNNTs) produced by epoxy impregnation of the porous BNNT network gave 2–3 W m −1 K −1 , more than 10× the baseline epoxy. The combination of manufacturability, thermal conductivity, and electrical insulation offers exciting potential for electrically insulating, thermally conductive coatings and packaging. Thermal conductivity of free‐standing BNNT buckypaper, buckypaper composites, and related materials at room temperature.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
