Abstract
Cu matrix composite reinforced with fullerene (C60) was fabricated by ball milling, followed by hot pressing techniques. The microstructure characteristics of the composite were investigated at different temperatures. The mechanical properties of the composite were measured at room temperature. The experimental result showed that the composite temperature recrystallization is impeded by carbon modification of copper grain boundaries. Furthermore, the nanocomposite possesses a very high hardness (up to 4 GPa).
