Cu nanoparticle-colloid was prepared by using electrical wire explosion process in liquid and it showed good dispersion stability without any kinds of additives. Mixed Cu nano-colloid was prepared with Cu nanoparticle-colloid, Copper (II) nitrate trihydrate, and polyvinyl pyrrolidone. Cu atoms are supplied from the dissociation reaction between Copper (II) nitrate trihydrate and polyvinyl pyrrolidone and fill up the gaps between Cu nanoparticles during the thermal sintering. Conductive (45 microOmega cm) Cu film was prepared at the sintering temperature of 200 degrees C by the enhancement of the formation of sintering necks.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
