Abstract
The configuration and quality of reinforce-ments,as well as the robustness of interfacial bonding,holding a critical significance in determining the concur-rence between electrical conductivity and mechanical strength in metal matrix composites.In this study,citric acid was employed as the precursor for synthesizing multi-scale carbon nanomaterials(graphene quantum dots and graphene,abbreviated as GQDs and GN).The GQDs@GN/Cu composites were fabricated through a segmented ball milling process in conjunction with subsequent spark plasma sintering(SPS).The intragranular GQDs and intergranular GQDs@GN had synergistically reinforced Cu composites through Orowan strengthening,load transfer strengthening and refinement strengthening.Furthermore,the robust interface bonding between GQDs@GN and Cu effectively mitigated interfacial impedance stemming from electron-boundary scattering.The yield strength and ulti-mate tensile strength of the GQDs@GN/Cu composites were recorded as 270 and 314 MPa,respectively,repre-senting an improvement of 92 and 28%over pure Cu,while maintaining electrical conductivity at a level comparable to that of pure Cu.This study advances the understanding of the possibility of realizing a synergistic compatibility between electrical conductivity and mechanical strength in Cu composites.
