Copper/single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) composite films were fabricated by electroless deposition. The SWCNTs were formed using the water-assisted chemical vapor deposition method. To prepare copper/SWCNT composite plating baths with homogeneously dispersed SWCNTs, magnetic stirring, ultrasonic homogenization, and collision-type atomization were examined as mechanical methods for the disintegration of SWCNT bundles. Appropriate dispersants were added to the plating baths to avoid re-aggregation of the disintegrated SWCNTs. The degree of SWCNT dispersion in the copper/SWCNT composite plating bath was evaluated using a particle size analyzer, and the microstructures of the copper/SWCNT composite films were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Collision-type atomization most significantly improved the degree of SWCNT dispersion in the composite plating bath. Using this treatment method, copper/SWCNT composite films with homogeneous dispersions of SWCNTs were successfully fabricated by electroless deposition. (C) 2016 The Authors.
