The paper proposed a method to improve the anti-oxidation performance of carbon fibers (CF) at high temperature environment by coating silicon dioxide (SiO₂) and silicon carbide (SiC). The modified sol-gel method had been used to ensure the proper interface between fibers and coating. We used polydimethylsiloxane and ethyl orthosilicate to make stable emulsion to uniformly disperse SiC nanopart...

In this study, SiC nanoparticles were added into matrix alloy through a combination of semisolid stirring and ultrasonic vibration while dynamic precipitation of second phases was obtained through multi-pass forging with varying temperatures. During single-pass forging of the present composite, as the deformation temperature increased, the extent of recrystallization increased, and grains were ...

Aluminum hybrid metal matrix nanocomposites (Al/SiC/TiO2) were synthesized through a microwave-assisted powder metallurgy process, and their evolved microstructure mechanical properties investigated. The Al/SiC/TiO2 prepared by reinforcing aluminum (Al) with fixed amount of silicon carbide (SiC) nanoparticles (5 wt.%) varying concentrations titanium dioxide (TiO2) (3, 6, 9 wt.%). morphology res...

Metal, typically gold [Au], nanoparticles [NPs] embedded in a capping metal contact layer onto silicon carbide [SiC] are considered to have practical applications in changing the barrier height of the original contacts. Here, we demonstrate the use of silver [Ag] NPs to effectively lower the barrier height of the electrical contacts to 4H-SiC. It has been shown that the barrier height of the fa...

Aluminium-based hybrid composites are a new class of advanced materials with the potential of satisfying the demands in engineering applications. This paper describes the effects of carbon addition on the formation and properties of AMC with SiC nanoparticles reinforcement. The composites were produced via mechanical alloying followed by hot pressing. Three forms of carbon, graphite (GR), multi...

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...

Environmental pollution caused by the improper disposal of pharmaceuticals is a matter of global concern, and warrants immediate attention. Of particular concern is the aquatic contamination caused by the increasing use of antibiotics, which could give rise to superbugs. While researchers have mainly focused on improving the adsorption capacity of mostly activated carbon-based adsorbents, we ha...

We have studied bulk MgB2 synthesized by reaction of MgH2 and B with and without SiC nanoparticles and at a range of reaction temperatures. All of the samples showed enhanced upper critical fields compared to most bulk MgB2, including the sample with 10 at. % SiC reacted at 600 °C, which showed Hc2 0 K 42 T. Extensive transmission electron microscopy TEM and STEM observations show that using Mg...

Small punch testing (SPT) and indirect tension adopted to measure tensile properties nanocomposites. Pin-on-ring wear was also performed examine performance Al2O3 SiC The Finite Element ...

Resistive memories (RMs) have simple Metal/Insulator/Metal structures and are considered as outstanding candidates for future non-volatile memory applications [1]. The write and erase of RMs are based on the formation and rupture of conductive filament (CF) in the insulating medium, induced by applying a programming voltage on the device. The formation and rupture of CF switch the device betwee...
