Preparation of ultrafine grained copper nanoparticles via immersion deposit method

Large - scale production of nano - twinned , ultrafine - grained copper

Large-scale production of high purity (99.999%), nano-twinned, and ultrafine-grained copper foils (22 m thick) was successfully implemented by the use of nanoscale multilayer technology. The process allows the production of up to fourteen 10 cm diameter foils during a single deposition run with high levels of reproducibility. Mechanical tests demonstrate that the strength of the Cu foils (σy ∼ ...

Fatigue Crack Resistance of Ultrafine-Grained Copper Structures

Preparation of Gd2O3 Ultrafine Nanoparticles by Pulse Electrodeposition Followed by Heat-treatment Method

Gd2O3 nanoparticles were prepared by a two–step process; cathodic electrodeposition followed by heat-treatment method. First, Gd(OH)3 nanoparticles was galvanostatically deposited from nitrate bath on the steel substrate by pulse current (PC) mode. The deposition experiments was conducted at a typical on-time and off-time (ton=1ms and toff=1ms) for 60 min. The electrodeposited precursor was the...

MICROSTRUCTURE AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF THE ULTRAFINE-GRAINED COPPER TUBE PRODUCED BY SEVERE PLASTIC DEFORMATION

In this paper, cyclic flaring and sinking (CFS) as a new severe plastic deformation (SPD) method was employed to produce the ultrafine grain (UFG) copper tubes. The extra friction has eliminated in the CFS method that provided the possibility for production of longer UFG tubes compared to the other SPD methods. This process was done periodically to apply more strain and consequently finer grain...

Facile Fabrication of Ultrafine Copper Nanoparticles in Organic Solvent

A facile chemical reduction method has been developed to fabricate ultrafine copper nanoparticles whose sizes can be controlled down to ca. 1 nm by using poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) as the stabilizer and sodium borohyrdride as the reducing agent in an alkaline ethylene glycol (EG) solvent. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results and UV-vis absorption spectra demonstrated that the as-p...
