Nano materials provide a pathway to increase thermal conductivity but nano particles uniform dispersion in the matrix is very difficult. This study focuses on dispersion of functionalized multi-walled carbon nano tubes in copper to improve thermal conductivity of copper. Copper/Carbon Nano Tubes (CNTs) composites were developed via powder injection moulding. Feedstock was compounded using Z-blade mixer and defect free green parts were produced by injection moulding. Binder was removed by solvent and thermal means followed by sintering in argon at 1050 â��. Thermal conductivity and reliability tests were performed on sintered nano composite specimen at various temperatures. Results showed good dispersion of CNTs in copper and thermal conductivity measured was 550â��580 w/m.k. A decrease of 27â��37 in thermal conductivity was recorded during thermal cycling of sintered composite and the reduced thermal conductivity value is still 80 higher than pure copper. © 2020, Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. date: 2020 publisher: Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85075744924&doi=10.1007%2f978-981-13-8297-0_40&partnerID=40&md5=3e6f3153d4c4570813922275f9eebdcc id_number: 10.1007/978-981-13-8297-0₄₀ full_text_status: none publication: Lecture Notes in Mechanical Engineering pagerange: 377-387 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9789811382963 issn: 21954356 citation: Ahmad, F. and Mohammad, M. and Muhsan, A.S. and Ali, M. and Naseer, A. and Aslam, M. and Malik, M.R.R.
