Thermophysical properties of Ag-C composites doped with carbon nanotubes

Abstract

The paper presents results of preliminary studies on Ag-C materials obtained using the powder metallurgy (PM) method with carbon nanotube doping. Based on structural tests performed using scanning electron microscopy and DSC, DIL and LFA tests of thermophysical properties, it was ascertained that the utilised procedure of producing composite material does not ensure satisfactory distribution of the carbon phase in the metal matrix. In order to improve the uniformity of Ag-C materials, a new method of deagglomerating the carbon phase needs to be developed.
