Flow behavior of Cu/CNTs feedstocks for powder injection molding

In this study, the flow behavior of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) reinforced copper matrix feedstocks is presented. The solid loadings in the copper feedstock were investigated in the ranges of 55-61 Vol. % using binder. Pure copper (Cu) and Cu/CNTs feed...
