Microstructure and Some Characteristics of Copper-Graphene Nanocomposites Synthesized by Powder Technology

Abstract

In recent years, nano-scale graphene (Gn) has generated a lot of interest owing to its remarkable characteristics, which made it a material of choice for reinforcing different kinds of materials for a broad range of engineering applications. In this study, a serious attempt has been paid to develop copper-graphene (Cu/Gn) nanocomposites by powder technology process using different concentrations of Gn. Also, microstructure, thermal, micro-hardness and wear properties have been studied.
