Abstract:
Progress of the metal matrix composites (MMCs) for thermal management applications was summarized with regard to high conductive architecture, interface and the novel carbon nanophases. There are great variations on thermal conduction and expansion for composites with the same composition but different architectures as well as interfaces. Due to the incompatibilities of the morphology, dimension and surface chemistry between metal powders and nanophases, additional attentions must be paid to optimize the architecture and interface in the R&D of such nanocomposites. It can be expected that a micro/nano hierarchical architecture in combination with carbon nanophases such as carbon nanotubes and graphene nanosheets will become the hotspot in the near future.
