Powder metallurgy was used to fabricate fully dense, unreacted composites consisting of a copper matrix containing 50-60 vol% ZrW2O8 particles with negative thermal expansion. Upon cycling between 25 and 300 degrees C, the composites showed coefficients of thermal expansion varying rapidly with temperature and significantly larger than predicted from theory. The anomalously large expansion on heating and contraction on cooling are attributed to the volume change associated with the allotropic transformation of ZrW2O8 between its high-pressure gamma-phase and its low-pressure alpha- or beta-phases. Based on calorimetry and diffraction experiments and on simple stress estimations, this allotropic transformation is shown to result from the hydrostatic thermal stresses in the particles due to the thermal expansion mismatch between matrix and reinforcement.
