“…A series of experiments conducted on temperature effect showed that the bath temperature should be between 55°C and 60°C. 26 Below 55°C, copper is not reduced. We used ultrasonic-assisted electroless copper plating bath, since it is recommended to achieve homogenous copper deposition.…”

In this study, the effect of Cu-coated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on the tensile strength of 70Sn-30Bi solder alloy has been investigated. Copper was first deposited onto metal-activated MWCNTs by an electroless process and confirmed with a scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive spectroscopy. Sn-Bi alloy solder was reinforced with Cucoated MWCNTs with additions of 0.5 wt.%, 1 wt.%, 2 wt.%, and 3 wt.%, respectively. 70Sn-30Bi solder was produced by melting pure tin and bismuth in an inert gas atmosphere. Cu-coated MWCNTs were then added into the metal matrix by cold rolling, followed by hot pressing to disperse the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in the matrix. Tensile tests were conducted on an mechanical testing and simulation (MTS) tester. The tensile strength was found to be proportional to the addition of Cu/MWCNTs, and about 47.6% increase in tensile strength over the pure alloy has been obtained for an addition of 3 wt.% Cu/MWCNTs. The Cu coating may enhance CNT dispersion to prevent tangling.

“…The deposition of copper on MWCNTs has already been performed by laser ablation [16], electroless plating [17] and MOCVD [18], but only at the milligram scale. The sole MOCVD precursor tested has been Cu(hfac)(tmvs) (tmvs = trimethylvinylsilyl) under a hydrogen-argon mixture, at temperatures between 120 and 200°C.…”

OATAO is an open access repository that collects the work of Toulouse researchers and makes it freely available over the web where possible. A B S T R A C TMulti-walled carbon nanotubes tangled in easy-to-fluidize porous balls have been decorated by pure copper nanoparticles using a pre-industrial fluidized bed chemical vapor deposition process. Copper (II) acetylacetonate Cu(acac) 2 was used as precursor. The low precursor volatility led to low deposition rates, responsible for a nonuniformity of the deposit both on the MWCNT balls and from the outer part to the center of the balls. An oxidative pre-treatment of the MWCNTs allowed to increase slightly the deposit weight and uniformity, by creating new nucleation sites on the nanotube surface. It also allowed decreasing the size of Cu nanoparticles by a factor of ten. A decrease of the deposition temperature increased more markedly the deposit weight, by probably favoring the formation of gaseous reactive intermediate species more reactive on the oxidized nanotube surface. A more efficient precursor delivery system would allow reaching higher deposition rates and much more uniform deposits, making possible an industrial production of metallized carbon nanotubes.
