Novel highly scalable carbon nanotube-strengthened ceramics by high shear compaction and spark plasma sintering
نویسندگان
چکیده
e report a new strategy, based on high shear compaction and spark plasma sintering, for the massive and low cost production of 100% dense eramics containing carbon nanotubes. Custom forming and stacking of flexible green sheets of record-breaking dimensions can yield an unlimited ange of three-dimensional structures. The strategy was successfully validated in the production of multi-walled carbon nanotube/Pyrex glass aterials of tube loadings in the range of 0–1.5 wt.% while no major factors limit applicability to other types of materials. Improvements in the our elastic constants of the material, Young’s modulus, shear modulus, Poisson’s ratio and bulk modulus, assessed by means of a non-destructive echnique based on ultrasonics, were found maximum at a tube loading of 0.5 wt.% Microstructural investigations indicating the existence of ighly dissipating nanoscale-specific toughening mechanisms acting complementary to nanotube bridging and pull-out indicate a high application otential in a wide range of reinforcing and multifunctional applications. 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

New Highly-Scalable Carbon Nanotube-Reinforced Glasses and Ceramics
We report herein the development and preliminary mechanical characterization of fully-dense multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWCNT)-reinforced ceramics and glasses based on a completely new methodology termed High Shear Compaction (HSC). The tubes are introduced and bound to the matrix grains by aid of polymeric binders to form flexible green bodies which are sintered and densified by spark plasma s...
متن کاملSpark Plasma Sintering of Ultra-High Temperature Tantalum/Hafnium Carbides Composite
TaC and HfC are thought to have the highest melting point (~4000°C) among all refractory materials. The binary solid solution of TaC and HfC (Ta4HfC5) is also considered as the most refractory material with the melting point over 4000 °C and valuable physical and mechanical properties. The main goal of this work is to fabricate TaC/HfCbased composites which consolidated by means of spark plasma...
متن کاملFabrication of Nanostructured Cu matrix Nanocomposites by High Energy Mechanical Milling and Spark Plasma Sintering
Spark plasma sintering (SPS) is a sintering process that is capable of sintering hard worked powders in short times. This technique was used to fabricate bulk Cu and Cu-SiC nanocomposites. Pure Cu and mixed powders of Cu including 4 vol% of SiC nanoparticles were mechanically alloyed for 25 h and sintered at 750˚C under vacuum condition by SPS method. Microstructures of the materials were chara...
متن کاملComparison of Creep Behavior in Alumina Based Ceramics Densified by Spark Plasma Sintering and Hot Pressing
Spark plasma sintering (SPS) method, as plasma activated sintering, is a method applicable for rapid sintering of metals and ceramics. Owing to the advantage of rapid heating, the alumina ceramics obtained by SPS have a grain size and density comparable to those of hot pressed ones. The increase of densification rate may be related to some difference in ion transport characteristics. This study...
متن کاملIn-situ Fabrication of Transparent Magnesium Aluminate Spinel by Spark Plasma Sintering
Transparent polycrystalline spinel ceramic was fabricated without any sintering aids by spark plasma sintering method of a mixture of Al2O3 and MgO powders for only 10min soak at 1250°C. Densification, microstructure and optical transparency of spinel were examined. The spinel exhibits an in-line transmission of 55% for a visible-wavelength of 470nm and high hardness value of 2040 HV.
