Synthesis and Properties of “Reduced Graphene Oxide –Copper” Composites Produced by the Method of Repeated Pressing and Sintering

Abstract

We study composites with copper matrix reinforced by plates of graphene oxide produced by the method of repeated pressing and sintering. We determine the hardness, relative density, ultimate strength, elongation, and conductivity of composites made by applying different modes of pressing and sintering. The influence of the modes of treatment on the properties of composite is analyzed by the method of design of orthogonal experiments L₁₆ (4⁵). The optimal parameters of double pressing and sintering are proposed.
