Abstract

La présente invention concerne une poudre de cuivre nickelé qui augmente le nombre de points de contact entre les particules de poudre de cuivre nickelé, ce qui assure une excellente conductivité et empêche toute agglomération des particules de poudre de cuivre. Par conséquent, la poudre de cuivre nickelé peut être utilisée de préférence pour des pâtes conductrices, des blindages électromagnétiques ou assimilés. La poudre de cuivre nickelé d'après la présente invention est formée par l'agglomération de particules de cuivre ayant des formes spécifiques et de surfaces nickelées ou enrobées d'un alliage de Ni en une forme dendritique ou en un agglomérat de particules de cuivre. La poudre de cuivre nickelé d'après la présente invention a un plus grand nombre de points de contact entre les particules de poudre de cuivre et présente donc une excellente conductivité.
