Abstract

The CNTs are the most extensively studied material which are characterized by the complete property of matter, structure, and the large thermal conductivity (thermal conductivity of CNTs ~>2000W/mK vs. thermal conductivity of Aluminum ~> 204W/mK). Thus, they are successfully applied to the various fields. However, due to the strong agglomeration caused by the van der waal's force, their applications are limited. In the present study, a new method for CNTs dispersion was developed by using the mechanical dispersion, acid treatment, and then Cu was coated. This process produces CNTs/Cu nanocomposite powders, whereby the CNTs are homogeneously located within the Cu powders. The electrical properties of the CNTs/Cu nanocomposite were investigated.
