Copper Foam

Copper foam is an advanced functional material made from high-purity copper with a three-dimensional porous structure. It combines lightweight, high electrical conductivity, excellent thermal conductivity, and high porosity, making it a versatile advanced material widely used in batteries, catalysis, thermal management, filtration, and other fields. Copper foam's pore structure can be open-cell, allowing it to perform excellently in fluid transport, electrochemical reactions, and heat 

What is copper foam?

Copper foam is a rigid three-dimensional network composed of interconnected copper ligaments that form cells with open pores. Copper metal foam features fully solid ligaments (as opposed to sintered or hollow ligaments), which makes it more robust and thermally conductive. Its properties are fully customizable, allowing for the optimization of performance characteristics for a wide range of applications. It is commonly used in applications that benefit from extremely high thermal conductivity and surface area, as well as a rigid cellular structure that mimics natural forms.
