ZrW 2 O 8 /Cu composites were prepared by the powder metallurgy method. Electroless plating was used to deposit copper on ZrW 2 O 8 powder before sintering. The thermal expansion and thermal conductivity of composites were measured in the temperature range from 25 o C to 200 o C and compared with those predicted from various theoretical models. The results show that the coefficient of thermal expansion of ZrW 2 O 8 / Cu composites with a different volume fraction of ZrW 2 O 8 is greater than the theoretically calculated value. The thermal conductivities of ZrW 2 O 8 / Cu composites increase with a higher copper content and decrease upon elevated temperature. The thermal conductivity of composites with a different volume fraction of ZrW 2 O 8 is lower than the theoretically calculated value.
