Abstract: Recently, the carbon/metal composites which acquire high thermal conductivity and low thermal expansion of carbon reinforcements and also inherit the formability of metal matrices, have provoked intensive research interest. Up to now, there are still some problems which deserve solutions, such as carbon/metal interface control, micro-cracks formed in fabrication processing, optimizing the spatial arrangement of reinforcements and so on. This article introduces briefly the normal preparation methods of carbon/metal composites, and renders a critical discussion on the factors affecting the thermal conductivity of composites as well as the corresponding countermeasures.
