Preparation of Nickel-Copper Bilayers Coated on Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes

Due to oxidizability of copper coating on carbon nanotubes, the interfacial bond strength between copper coating and its matrix is weak, which leads to the reduction of the macroscopic properties of copper matrix composite. The electroless coating technics was applied to prepare nickel-copper bilaye...
