An ammonium soal solution based method for the preparation of ceramic/copper metal microcomposites
- Southwest State Univ., Marshall, MN (United States)
Robinson and Maginnis have developed a process for the preparation of metal ceramic composites using an ammonium soap solution based route. This current work is an extension of their patent application. Their work focused on preparing silver/YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7-x}. We have extended their work to prepare copper ceramic microcomposites. In this method, an ammonium soap of 2-ethylhexanoate is used to prepare a metallorganic in solution that is rapidly jelled or precipitated around a suspended and dispersed ceramic. This step is followed by a low temperature heat treatment in hydrogen to produce the desired composite. Depending on the heat treatment, the composite can be varied from metal coated ceramic grains to finely dispersed metal in a ceramic matrix. System specific schemes for the preparation of copper metal/ceramics will be presented along with X-ray Diffraction data, SEM and Optical micrographs.
