Fabrication Processes and Mechanical Behavior of CNT/Metal Nanocomposites

Abstract

A novel process for fabrication of CNT/Metal nanocomposites, named as "molecular level mixing process," was developed and applied to various metallic matrices of Cu, Ni, NiTi and Al-Cu. Mechanical properties of CNT/Metal nanocomposites were characterized to understand the relationships between microstructure and mechanical behavior, and to analyse the strengthening mechanisms of CNT/Metal nanocomposites. The molecular level mixing process is based on accurately controlled molecular chemistry in order to solve key issues of the homogeneous dispersion of carbon nanotubes with strong interfacial bonding with the matrices.
