    Interfacial Bonding Improvement through Nickel Decoration on Carbon Nanotubes in Carbon Nanotubes/Cu Composite Foams Reinforced Copper Matrix Composites

    by Dan Wang, An Yan, Yichun Liu, Zhong Wu, Xueping Gan, Fengxian Li, Jingmei Tao, Caiju Li, Jianhong Yi

    Inhomogeneous structures with carbon nanotubes (CNTs), reinforced with Cu composite foams as the reinforcing skeletons (CNTs/Cuf®Cu), have been designed to overcome the paradox between strength and ductility or conductivity in copper matrix composites. The interface between CNTs and the copper matrix is usually weak, due to poor wettability and interaction. In this study, nickel nanoparticles are decorated onto CNTs to improve interfacial bonding. The broader interface transition area between CNTs and copper with Ni3C interfacial products formed, and a combination of improved electrical conductivity (95.6% IACS), tensile strength (364.9 MPa), and elongation (40.6%) was achieved for the Ni-decorated CNTs/Cuf®Cu (Ni-CNTs/Cuf®Cu). In addition, the strengthening mechanisms are discussed in this study.

    A Combination of Enhanced Mechanical and Electromagnetic Shielding Properties of Carbon Nanotubes Reinforced Cu-Ni Composite Foams

    by Dan Wang, Zhong Wu, Fengxian Li, Xueping Gan, Jingmei Tao, Jianhong Yi, Yichun Liu

    Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) reinforced double-layered Cu-Ni composite foams (Cu-Ni/CNT foams) were prepared through chemical plating and electrodeposition, for the purpose of combining enhanced mechanical and electromagnetic shielding properties. The microstructure characterization revealed a quite uniform dispersion of the CNTs embedded in the metal layers, even after heat treatments. The property testing showed the compressive strength, energy absorption capacity and electromagnetic shielding effectiveness (SE) of Cu-Ni/CNTs foams were significantly improved, as compared to Cu-Ni foams. The heat treatments of the composite foams resulted in an interdiffusion of the Cu and Ni layers, causing an increase of compressive strength and a slight decrease of average SE. The possible mechanisms of the property evolution are discussed.
