الملخص
Copper-carbon composites with various copper nano-particulates volume fractions were
manufactured using electro-less precipitation process. Composites with 10% and 20%
carbon volume fractions and copper samples were sintered at two different sintering
temperatures 700 and 800C. The microstructure was studied using high resolution optical
scanning investigations. Experimental results indicate that the coefficients of thermal
expansion and electrical resistivity intensified with the escalation of the carbon volume
fraction in the composites. However, the stress-strain response was found to decrease
with the increase of carbon volume fraction in the copper-carbon composites.
