In this research work, Al 1wt% silver coated multi wall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) composite have been processed using powder metallurgy technique. In order to distribute CNT uniformly in the aluminum matrix high energy ball milling is required. . It was found that excessive milling can lead to carbide and alumina formation. So to reduce the milling time, the surface of CNT is modified by coating ...

Maximum 200 words) The main goals of this research program at UTSI were: 1) to produce low cost carbon fibers and 2) to develop specific carbonbased material technologies to meet current and future high performance fiber-reinforced composite needs of FTA and other organizations. UTSI has been carrying out the relevant research programs since it received the carbon fiber spinning technologies an...

Global energy sources such as coal and oil are limited, and the burning of such fossil resources creates pollution problems. Wind energy offers one of several promising clean alternatives to carbon-based fuels. However, the composite materials currently available for producing wind turbine blades cannot accommodate the scale-up of wind energy due to their high price and disposal challenges (e.g...

An automobile industry have an interest in replacement of conventional leaf spring with composite leaf spring to get better performance with less weight. This paper deals with by replacing the conventional leaf spring with composite leaf spring. The dimensions of an existing conventional steel leaf spring of a light commercial vehicle were taken to fabricate the special die which is further use...

In this work the synthesis of polyaniline/chitosan/functionalized single- walled carbon nanotube nanocomposite is carried out. For this purpose single -walled carbon nanotubes were reacted with thionyl chloride to change the hydroxyl to acyl chloride groups for improving the react ability. In other step, aniline monomers and chitosan were polymerized in the presence of Iron (III) chloride to sy...
