...R. Arul Kumar; H. Kanaga Sabapathy; I. Neethimanickam The present study deals with determination of physical, mechanical and combustion characteristics like mass, density, compressive strength, shearing strength, moisture content, total ash content, fixed carbon, volatile matter, gross calorific...

... as a dispersing agent (uncoated Cu particles). Polypyrrole (PPy)-coated Cu nanoparticles were also used as the filler. Strong bonding for Cu discs was not obtained by using the PPy-coated particles. For the uncoated Cu particles, a shear strength required for separating the discs bonded by annealing at 400°C...
