Abstract The effects of temperature and pH value on electroless copper plating on mesophase pitch-based graphite fibers (MPGFs) were investigated in this work. The surface morphology and components of copper-coated MPGFs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectrometer (SEM-EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). And the resistivity and adhesion properties of copper-coated MPGFs were also measured. The results showed that MPGFs were coated by a dense and uniform copper layers when the temperature and pH value were 60 ℃ and 13.0. Moreover, the resistivity of copper-coated MPGFs with excellent adhesion decreased to 7.52 μΩ·cm.
