Prompt
Explain how copper/diamond composites are made, comparing the post-mixing route (a carbide-forming interfacial layer on the Cu particles, mixed with uncoated diamond and compacted) with the pre-coating route (PVD/CVD Ti/Cr/Mo/W coating on the diamonds before mixing with Cu), as a powder-metallurgy bench line with a model estimate of thermal conductivity.
