Abstrakt: This study evaluated mixing methods for producing graphene oxide-reinforced copper matrix composites aiming for a better dispersion of graphene oxide in the composite, using powder metallurgy techniques. The compacted specimens were prepared by four different mixing processes that employed either a mechanical stirrer, rotary evaporator, tip ultrasound, or ultrasound process followed by mechanical stirring. Characterizations were performed using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, compression tests, Vickers microhardness, and electrical conductivity measurements. The results indicate that the combined method yields a more homogeneous microstructure and superior mechanical properties, while electrical conductivity was maintained at a level higher than that achieved by the other methods.
