Composite material composed of a metal matrix in which cnt filaments are distributed, and method for the production of such a composite material

Abstract

A composite material is composed of a metal matrix in which CNT filaments are distributed. The CNT filaments are intertwined, interwoven, or tied together, and the matrix is cold-worked. The matrix material is thereby filled with a higher percentage of CNT filaments than when dispersed CNT are electrodeposited. In a method for producing such a composite material, suitable semifinished products such as knitted fabrics, woven fabrics, nets, fleeces, or papers made of CNT filaments are coated (preferably electroplated) with the metal matrix.
