Nanostructured Multifilamentary Carbon-Copper Composites: Fabrication, Microstructural Characterization, and Properties

Abstract EN

This work is part of research on the emerging techniques to produce bulk nanostructured composites materials by severe plastic deformation and their characterization.

Based on the Levi work, we present a new method to synthesize a composite wire-containing carbon-nanosized filaments (graphite and C60 fullerenes) embedded in a copper matrix.

The originality of this process is using powder media as fiber.

Microstructures and electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties are presented.
