Vacuum brazing of carbon nanotube bundles

Abstract

We have investigated vacuum brazing of CNTs with a eutectic alloy (AgxCuy) doped with Ti. Bonding is confirmed to involve formation of covalent bonds between Ti and C atoms. The brazing in vacuum leads to the interdiffusion of Ti and C atoms and reaction at the joining interfaces. This joining process is promising for volume production with low cost and a low contact resistance.
