Preparation and characterization of carbon nanotube reinforced silicon nitride composites
Multiwall carbon nanotube (MWNT) reinforced silicon nitride ceramics matrix composites have been prepared. The hot isostatic press (HIP)-sintering method was used for composite processing. Bending strength and elastic modulus of MWNT-silicon nitride composites showed a considerable improvement compared to matrices with added carbon fiber, carbon black or graphite. However, the silicon nitride s...
متن کاملDirect observation of toughening mechanisms in carbon nanotube ceramic matrix composites
The excellent mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTS) are driving research into the creation of new strong, tough nanocomposite systems. Here, the first evidence of toughening mechanisms operating in carbon-nanotube-reinforced ceramic composites is presented. A highly ordered array of parallel multiwall CNTs in an alumina matrix was fabricated. Nanoindentation introduced controlled cra...
متن کاملNonsingular toughening and R-curve behavior in nominally pure alumina
Moire interferometry is employed to study toughening in medium to large grain size nominally pure alumina. The fracture scale length, which is characterized by the grain size of the alumina, is systematically varied from 35 to 102 p,m. R curves are derived from bulk mode I compliance calculations for the differing grain sizes and from the near tip moire fringes. The level of material toughening...
متن کاملElectrical behavior of multi-walled carbon nanotube network embedded in amorphous silicon nitride
The electrical behavior of multi-walled carbon nanotube network embedded in amorphous silicon nitride is studied by measuring the voltage and temperature dependences of the current. The microstructure of the network is investigated by cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy. The multi-walled carbon nanotube network has an uniform spatial extension in the silicon nitride matrix. The cur...
متن کاملMechanical and tribological behavior of silicon nitride and silicon carbon nitride coatings for total joint replacements.
Total joint replacements currently have relatively high success rates at 10-15 years; however, increasing ageing and an active population places higher demands on the longevity of the implants. A wear resistant configuration with wear particles that resorb in vivo can potentially increase the lifetime of an implant. In this study, silicon nitride (SixNy) and silicon carbon nitride (SixCyNz) coa...
