Polymer Composites with Oriented Magnetic Nanowires as Fillers

Metallic nickel nanowires with excellent physical properties have been introduced into polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) matrix to form polymer nanocomposites. Nanowires were synthesized by template-assisted electrochemical deposition. By utilizing ferromagnetic nickel nanowires, small external magnetic field can be used to control their alignment and distribution during composite synthesis. Unlike d...

Processing and Properties of Aluminum and Magnesium Based Composites Containing Amorphous Reinforcement: A Review

This review deals with the processing and properties of novel lightweight metal matrix composites. Conventionally, hard and strong ceramic particles are used as reinforcement to fabricate metal matrix composites (MMCs). However, the poor mechanical properties associated with the interfacial de-cohesion and undesirable reactions at (ceramic) particle–(metallic) matrix interface represent major d...
