of CNF-reinforced aluminum matrix composites with superior mechanical and thermal
properties. In this study, aluminum was deposited on CNFs by in situ chemical vapor
deposition (CVD) utilizing I2 for the transportation of aluminum atoms. The microstructure of
the aluminum-coated CNFs and the crystal structure of the aluminum coating layers were
studied. When aluminum powder with∼ 3 μm diameter particles, CNFs, and I2 powder were …
