Thermal expansion of Cu/carbon nanotube composite wires and the effect of Cu-spatial distribution
We report for the first time the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of Cu/carbon nanotube (Cu/CNT) macroscopic wire composites and its strong dependence on CNT-Cu mixing. Homogeneous composite wires with 40 vol% nanotubes uniformly mixed in continuous Cu matrix showed CTE ∼4.42 × 10−6 °C-1 (∼26...
