Copper foam with a controlled pore size have been employed in the boiling process. I notice the thermal resistance is high if using a soldering process. The high porosity structure makes the traditional sintering process can not be performed. My questions are as following:

(1) If using the commercial copper foam, is there welding method that can keep a small thermal resistance and without changing the geometry of copper foam?

(2) If using the sintering method to made copper foam, what material can be used as a sacrifice material?

Looking to hear your suggestions and comments. Thanks
