Graphene/copper composites are promising in electronic and energy fields due to their superior conductivity, but microstructure control during thermal mechanical processing (TMP) remains a crucial issue for the manufacturing of high-performance graphene/copper composites. In this study, the hot deformation behavior of graphene/copper composites was investigated by isothermal compression tests at deformation temperatures of 700~850 °C and strain rates of 0.01~10 s, and a constitutive equation based on the Arrhenius model and hot processing map was established. Results demonstrate that the deformation mechanism of the graphene/copper composites mainly involves dynamic recrystallization (DRX), and such DRX-mediated deformation behavior can be accurately described by the established Arrhenius model. In addition, it was found that the strain rate has a stronger impact on the DRX grain size than the deformation temperature. The optimum deformation temperature and strain rate were determined to be 800 °C and 1 s, respectively, with which a uniform microstructure with fine grains can be obtained.

Doping graphene into copper monomers significantly enhances their mechanical properties, thereby broadening the application scope of graphene/copper nanocomposites. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation serve as a powerful tool for investigating the mechanical behavior of these nanocomposites. This study systematically explores the influence of four critical factors-external temperature, graphene vacancy defects, graphene chirality, and insertion angle-on the performance of graphene/copper nanocomposites.

For graphene/copper (Gr/Cu) composites, achieving high-quality interfaces between Gr and Cu (strong interfacial bonding strength and excellent electron transport performance) is crucial for enabling their widespread applications in electronic devices. This study employs first-principles calculations and the nonequilibrium Green's function method to systematically investigate the mechanical and electrical conductivity properties of Cu(111)/Gr/Cu(111) interfaces with various stacking sequences and different forms of Gr. For these interface systems, the binding energy, separation work, charge transfer, and electrical conductivity across the interface were obtained.

Advanced thermal interface materials with high thermal conductivity are crucial for addressing the heat dissipation issue in high-power, highly integrated electronic devices. One great potential way in this field is to take advantage of cooling copper foil (Cu) materials based on graphene (G). However, the current manufacturing of these cooling copper foil materials is accompanied by high cost, process complexity, and environmental problems, which limit their development and application.
