Distribution states of reinforcement have considerable impact on the strength and ductility of
metal composites. Herein, we reported a “nanodispersion-in-grains” strategy to …

In the development of copper-based composite materials, the dilemma of improving the
mechanical properties without affecting the electrical properties is an important issue that …

Insight into the well-balanced mechanical-electrical properties of copper composites is
requisite to provide an understanding for the development of novel structure–function …

A hybrid reinforcement of carbon nanotubes and carbonized polymer dots was created and
used to strengthen the copper matrix by a powder metallurgy method. The CPD-CNT/Cu …

A novel carbonized polymer dots (CPD)/copper (Cu) composite was successfully
synthesized via molecular level mixing (MLM) and spark plasma sintering (SPS) process …

Traditionally, metal matrix composites reinforced with uniformly dispersed carbon nanotube
(CNT) have shown significant enhancement in strength, but always accompanied by the …

Nanograined metals have the merit of high strength, but usually suffer from low work
hardening capacity and poor thermal stability, causing premature failure and limiting their …

The incorporation of low-dimensional nanofillers into 3D metal matrix is promising to
translate their excellent properties from nanoscale to the macroscopic world. However, the …

Achieving high strength and ductility for copper matrix composites reinforced by carbon
nanofillers remains challenging due to secondary agglomeration, few intragranular …

Based on practical application requirements, the Cu alloy matrix with precipitates,
particularly obstructing dislocation gliding, offers a promising pathway to substantially …
