UCC: Ultraconductive Copper-CNT Composite
Category: Mechanical/Materials
Developers: Oak Ridge National Laboratory Oak Ridge National Laboratory
United States
Product Description:Ultraconductive Cu-CNT composite, a new class of high-performance conductors in which carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are incorporated into a copper (Cu) matrix, demonstrate improved electrical conductivity (≥ 5%), higher current-carrying capacity (≥ 15%), and improved mechanical properties (10% to 30%) compared to pure Cu.
