Improved interfacial-bonding strength and electronic structure properties of graphene-reinforced Al composites by Cu coating

Sin-Hyok Jon, Jae-Bok Ri, Chol Jong, Un-Gi Jong, Songchol Hong

Cu-coated graphene-reinforced aluminum matrix composites (AMCs) exhibit 1.5 times stronger interfacial bonding than the non-Cu-coated derivative due to hybridization between the 3d orbital of Cu and π orbital of graphene.
