The solid loadings in the copper feedstock were investigated in the ranges of 55-61 Vol. using binder. Pure copper (Cu) and Cu/CNTs feedstocks were compounded using internal mixer machine for homogenous dispersion of solids in the binder. The flow behavior were measured using a capillary rheometer in the shear rate range expected to occur during powder injection molding. An acceptable increasing trend in viscosity of the copper feedstock with powder loading was recorded. Cu/CNTs composite feedstocks showed viscosity more than 1000 Pa.s which is most probably due to the addition of CNTs and increasing trend in viscosity of Cu/CNTs was noted as well. The results also identified that the feedstock containing 59 vol. copper was most suitable for substitution of CNTs in Cu feedstock. © 2011 IEEE. date: 2011 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84858990462&doi=10.1109%2fCHUSER.2011.6163776&partnerID=40&md5=083c9abfb00163b00bd01d4ae09fb936 id_number: 10.1109/CHUSER.2011.6163776 full_text_status: none publication: 2011 IEEE Colloquium on Humanities, Science and Engineering, CHUSER 2011 place_of_pub: Penang pagerange: 476-480 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781467300193 citation: Muhsan, A.S. and Ahmad, F. and Rafi Raza, M.
