In this study, Cu-coated Al_2O_3 composite powders were synthesized by using electroless plating method. The influence of the plating bath composition and ceramic powder concentration on the Cu plating was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction techniques. The results showed that the electroless bath composition plays an important role for the structure of nano core-shell Al_2O_3/Cu composite powders. The content of copper in the composite powders could be effectively controlled by adjusting the content of copper sulfate and formaldehyde in the plating solution. Furthermore, the pretreatment of the Al_2O_3 powders is also a key factor to form a uniform shell copper layer coating on Al_2O_3 particles.
