Abstract

The thermal conductivity and microstructure of a CuTi-0.5/CNF composite has been investigated. Microstructural characterisation involved FIB milling coupled with SEM microscopy, to obtain fibre distribution, and TEM microscopy, to study the fibre/matrix interface. From this, predictions of κcomposite were made and compared to measured values.
