Abstract

The effect of the addition of n-layer graphene on the thermal conductivity of copper samples sintered at high pressure and temperature was studied. It was shown that the addition of graphene Gn (4) to copper powder in an amount of 0.2–0.4 wt % allows an increase in the value of thermal conductivity of samples by 14–37%.
