Resumen

The present work deals with the study of the manufacture and characterization of reinforced copper matrix composites with vapour grown carbon nanofibers. Nanofillers based on carbon such as carbon nanofibers and nanotubes present high mechanical properties and high thermal conductivity. Therefore they are quite attractive reinforcements in composites materials. An overview of the main developments on the Cu/carbon nanofibers composites at Inasmet-Tecnalia and collaborators over recent years is given. This includes the selection and inspection of nanofibers from different manufacturers; strategies followed for disentanglement/dispersion into the copper matrix; comparison among various manufacturing routes (electroless plating, hotpressing, spark plasma sintering, etc.); microstructural observation (Optical, SEM, TEM); interfacial Cu/C design and optimization; and the evaluation of mechanical and thermal properties. Moreover, in view of the results achieved, this study includes the further work and necessary steps for a complete development of this composite material.
