| Abstract Scope |
This presentation will focus on the role and implications that can result as economies shift towards reduced carbon emission with increased importance being given to a “greener environment” thereby emphasizing upon electrification as a source of “clean” energy. In this elucidation, an effort will be made to elaborate upon current developments in the domain of copper nano-composite materials for selection and use in electrical devices to meet the emerging demands. The addition of additives, such as carbon allotropes and metal oxides, to a copper matrix can significantly enhance electrical, thermal and mechanical properties of the resultant material. However, an integration of the phases present is a non-trivial task that often results in detrimental effects. This makes economic scalability of the fabrication technique difficult. Also, the role of chemical composition, method of synthesis, characterization techniques, process-structure-property relationships and manufacturing readiness for both conventional techniques and additive manufacturing techniques will be highlighted |
