In most metal matrix composites (MMCs) interfaces are decisive but hard to manipulate. Especially copper–carbon composites can exhibit excellent mechanical and thermal properties only if the Cu/C interface is modified by an optimised interlayer. Due to the excellent thermal conductivity and mechanical stability of diamond this form of carbon is preferred as reinforcement in heat sink materials (copper–diamond...
In many modern ceramic or metal matrix composites the interface between the matrix and the reinforcements (particles or fibres) plays an important role. Either no or only weak mechanical bonding is observed or severe reactions between the matrix and the filler during the manufacturing process take place. A method to promote adhesion or to avoid severe reactions is to use coated reinforcements. A uniform...
