Effect of Electroless Coatings on the Mechanical Properties and Wear Behavior of Oriented Multiwall Carbon Nanotube-Reinforced Copper Matrix Composites

The effects of electroless coatings on the microstructure and composition of the interface between multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and a Cu matrix and the mechanical properties and wear behavior of the resulting copper matrix composites were investigated. Ni and Cu coatings were electrolessly...

The results showed that MWCNTs were straight, long, uniformly dispersed and aligned in the composites. The Ni coating is more continuous, dense and complete than a Cu coating. The tensile strength, compressive strength, microhardness and tribological properties of Ni@MWCNTs/Cu composite along the drawing direction were enhanced most.
