It is versatile, ductile, durable, and corrosion resistant, making it perfect for tools, weapons, coins, and monuments. Long before the dawn of antibiotics and modern medicine, it was also known for its naturally antimicrobial character. And of course, it shines &#8211; early jewelry was often made of copper.<\/p><p>Some of copper\u2019s characteristics were not harnessed until much later. For example, because this metal is an ideal conductor of electricity, it continues to be relevant in modern advancements from smartphones to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/en\/electric-vehicle-growth-accelerates-demand-for-copper\/\">electric vehicles<\/a>. It is also a preferred material for heat exchange applications because it is an excellent thermal conductor, heating up and cooling down quickly.<\/p><p>So, copper has stood the test of time. In fact, it has the longest recycling history of any material known to humankind, with estimates suggesting 80 percent of all mined copper over the last 10,000 years is still in use today. Because it is also easy to alloy, its uses are immeasurable \u2013 but some of copper\u2019s main applications are shown below:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f61073d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f61073d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/09\/copper-infographic-1_v2-1.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Use Of Copper\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MzM5MDMsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC9uZXdzLnNhbXN1bmdjbnQuY29tXC91cGxvYWRcLzIuMFwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvc2l0ZXNcLzNcLzIwMjBcLzA5XC9jb3BwZXItaW5mb2dyYXBoaWMtMV92Mi0xLmpwZyJ9\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"963\" src=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/09\/copper-infographic-1_v2-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-33903\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/09\/copper-infographic-1_v2-1.jpg 940w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/09\/copper-infographic-1_v2-1-239x300.jpg 239w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/09\/copper-infographic-1_v2-1-816x1024.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-65ba0c1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"65ba0c1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">A glowing market for copper and its concentrate form<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fd2951d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fd2951d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Copper has another very interesting characteristic.
