Electrical Conductors Having Organic Compound Coatings

An electrical conductor includes a metallic substrate having a surface and an organic compound coating deposited on the surface. The organic compound coating may comprise a graphene coating, a carbon nanotube (CNT) coating or a blended graphene/CNT coating. The organic compound coating defines a sep...

Zusammenfassung:An electrical conductor includes a metallic substrate having a surface and an organic compound coating deposited on the surface. The organic compound coating may comprise a graphene coating, a carbon nanotube (CNT) coating or a blended graphene/CNT coating. The organic compound coating defines a separable interface of the electrical conductor configured to be mated to and unmated from a mating conductor. The organic compound coating is electrically conductive. The organic compound coating has a lower friction coefficient than the surface of the metallic substrate.
