Ultra-High Strength Superelastic Transforming Metal Matrix-Graphene Composites

Abstract

A new generation of Metal Matrix Composites with an unprecedented strength and exceptional recoverable strain is developed in this research. Since the early dates of discovering superior intrinsic mechanical properties in nanoscale materials (i.e. graphene_, every attempt on adding these nanoscale materials to a metal matrix composite to achieve similar extraordinary properties at the bulk level has been disappointing. This failure is mainly die to the formation of dislocation in the metal matric, and very large local lattice strains around these dislocations which prevent as efficient load transfer from the nanoparticles to the metal matrix.
