Abstract Copper foams reinforced by embedded Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with uniform dispersion were prepared through composite electrodeposition on melamine foam templates. The microstructure, compression performance and electromagnetic shielding properties were characterized or tested by XRD, Raman, SEM, tensile tester and vector network instrument, respectively. The results showed significant improvements of the compressive strength, energy absorption and electromagnetic shielding properties of the composite foams with CNTs reinforcements, as compared to the copper foam counterparts. Such composite foams are potential light-weighted materials for shock resistance and electromagnetic shielding.
