Enhanced performance of nano-sized SiC reinforced Al metal matrix nanocomposites synthesized through microwave sintering and hot extrusion techniques
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
In the present study, nano-sized SiC (0, 0.3, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 vol%) reinforced aluminum (Al) metal matrix composites were fabricated by microwave sintering and hot extrusion techniques. The structural (XRD, SEM), mechanical ...
Hierarchical honeycomb auxetic metamaterials
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2015 , Article)
Most conventional materials expand in transverse directions when they are compressed uniaxially resulting in the familiar positive Poisson’s ratio. Here we develop a new class of two dimensional (2D) metamaterials with ...
Properties of microwave sintered al-cu metal matrix composites
(
Association for Iron and Steel Technology, AISTECH
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The present work focuses on the effect of copper (Cu) reinforcement on structural and mechanical properties of Al-Cu composites synthesized through microwave sintering approach. The pure aluminum (Al) and copper (Cu) powders ...
Using B4C nanoparticles to enhance thermal and mechanical response of aluminum
(
MDPI AG
, 2017 , Article)
In this work, Al-B4C nanocomposites were produced by microwave sintering and followed by hot extrusion processes. The influence of ceramic reinforcement (B4C) nanoparticles on the physical, microstructural, mechanical, and ...
Characterizing biaxially stretched polypropylene/graphene nanoplatelet composites
(
International Committee on Composite Materials
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
During moulding processes such as thermoforming and blow moulding, heated polymer materials are subjected to rapid biaxial deformation as they are drawn into the shape of a mould. It is therefore essential to accurately ...
Microwave rapid sintering of al-metal matrix composites: A review on the effect of reinforcements, microstructure and mechanical properties
(
MDPI AG
, 2016 , Article Review)
Aluminum metal matrix composites (AMMCs) are light-weight materials having wide-spread use in the automobile and aerospace industries due to their attractive physical and mechanical properties. The promising mechanical ...
Properties of nanoclay PVA composites materials
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2013 , Article)
Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/Na-rich Montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites were prepared using solution method to create polymer-clay nanocomposite (PCN) material. The PCN material was studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), ...
High strength, ductility, and electrical conductivity of in-situ consolidated nanocrystalline Cu-1%Nb
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
Nanocrystalline metals—with grain sizes less than 100 nm— have strengths exceeding those of coarse-grained and even alloyed metals [1], [2]. A bulk nanocrystalline Cu-1%Nb alloy was synthesized by an in-situ consolidation ...
Nematic opto-mechanical actuators for the fabrication of refreshable tactile systems
(2013 , Conference Paper)
Nematic elastomers are promising materials for the fabrication of actuators due to their ability to reversibly contract and expand during phase transitions triggered by external stimuli. We present a refreshable tactile ...
Synthesis and properties of HA/ZnO/CNT nanocomposite
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
The goal of this study was to examine the tribomechanical properties of hydroxyapatite (HA)/ZnO and HA/ZnO/CNT composite ceramics (carbon nanotubes; with different ratios 0.5 wt%, 1.0 wt%, and 1.5 wt%). The composites were ...
