Abstract
A room temperature technique was developed to produce continuous metal nanowires embedded in random nanoporous ceramic skeletons. The synthesis involves preparation of uniform, nanoporous ceramic pre-forms and subsequent electrochemical metal infiltration at room temperature, so to avoid material incompatibilities frequently encountered in traditional high-temperature liquid metal infiltration. Structure and preliminary evaluations of mechanical and electronic properties of copper/alumina nanocomposites are reported.
