Abstract
Copper - multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) composite was processed by powder metallurgical processing technique. Pure copper powder and MWCNT were mechanically alloyed by high energy milling to produce Cu-MWCNT composite powder. The composite powder was subsequently consolidated by vacuum hot pressing. Characterization studies were conducted along axial (hot pressing direction) and radial (transverse) directions. Microstructural observations of the processed composite revealed random distribution of MWCNT in axial direction and aligned distribution in radial direction. The structure property correlation was established and it revealed certain degree of anisotropy in mechanical and electrical properties of the composite.
