“…Organic matrix composites (OMCs), metal matrix composites (MMCs), and ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are the three primary composite material types based on matrices (see Figure 1) [20,21]. Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) and carbon matrix composites, often known as carbon-carbon composites, are thought to make up organic matrix composites.…”

Hybrid reinforced particulate aluminum matrix composite materials (HAMCs) are a breakthrough kind of material made by combining two or more distinct reinforcing components in the aluminum (Al) matrix. Composites with many reinforcing phases offer a superior overall mix of characteristics than composites with only one. This article’s wide literature review of metal matrix composite (MMC) especially for aluminum matrix composites (AMC) was carried out. Discussions of various widely adopted synthesis methods such as stir casting and powder metallurgy have been presented. The effect of various reinforcement ceramic particles such as silicon carbide (SiC), aluminum oxide (Al2O3), graphite (Gr) on the mechanical and metallurgical properties of MMC has been reviewed. The summary of various characterizations such as X-ray diffraction (X-RD), and optical microscopy (OM) including testing such as hardness, tensile, compressive, and tribological behavior has been discussed in detail to demonstrate a full grasp of the many features of HAMCs, such as manufacturing, physicomechanical properties, wear, and corrosion characteristics. Future developments and potentially useful materials as alternative reinforcements are discussed at the end of the review.

“…Substrates of different nature and morphology are evidenced as suitable for the growth of VACNT due to easy-to-analyze or easy-to-industrialize properties. Various substrates have been used for the growth of VACNT, such as silicon wafers [9,24,31,34,35], quartz [36], aluminium foil [13,37,38], piezoelectric aluminium nitride film [39], stainless steel [40], titanium wire [41], magnesia and magnesium aluminate [42], as well as carbon fiber cloth [36,[43][44][45] or paper [46,47], graphite [5,48], graphene paper [49] or oxide [50], reticulated carbon foam [51], and many others [21,52]. Among all, commercial fibrous carbon 3D substrates (CF tow, cloth, felt, paper, or other woven or non-woven fabrics) are advantageous since they possess exceptionally high mechanical strength and well-defined anisotropic thermal and electrical properties [53].…”

Conducting Interface for Efficient Growth of Vertically Aligned Carbon Nanotubes: Towards Nano-Engineered Carbon Composite

2022

Vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VACNT) are manufactured nanomaterials with excellent properties and great potential for numerous applications. Recently, research has intensified toward achieving VACNT synthesis on different planar and non-planar substrates of various natures, mainly dependent on the user-defined application. Indeed, VACNT growth has to be adjusted and optimized according to the substrate nature and shape to reach the requirements for the application envisaged. To date, different substrates have been decorated with VACNT, involving the use of diffusion barrier layers (DBLs) that are often insulating, such as SiO2 or Al2O3. These commonly used DBLs limit the conducting and other vital physico-chemical properties of the final nanomaterial composite. One interesting route to improve the contact resistance of VACNT on a substrate surface and the deficient composite properties is the development of semi-/conducting interlayers. The present review summarizes different methods and techniques for the deposition of suitable conducting interfaces and controlled growth of VACNT on diverse flat and 3-D fibrous substrates. Apart from exhibiting a catalytic efficiency, the DBL can generate a conducting and adhesive interface involving performance enhancements in VACNT composites. The abilities of different conducting interlayers are compared for VACNT growth and subsequent composite properties. A conducting interface is also emphasized for the synthesis of VACNT on carbonaceous substrates in order to produce cost-effective and high-performance nano-engineered carbon composites.

Distribution of Iron Nanoparticles in Arrays of Vertically Aligned Carbon Nanotubes Grown by Chemical Vapor Deposition

et al. 2022

Arrays of aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are anisotropic nanomaterials possessing a high length-to-diameter aspect ratio, channels passing through the array, and mechanical strength along with flexibility. The arrays are produced in one step using aerosol-assisted catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CCVD), where a mixture of carbon and metal sources is fed into the hot zone of the reactor. Metal nanoparticles catalyze the growth of CNTs and, during synthesis, are partially captured into the internal cavity of CNTs. In this work, we considered various stages of multi-walled CNT (MWCNT) growth on silicon substrates from a ferrocene–toluene mixture and estimated the amount of iron in the array. The study showed that although the mixture of precursors supplies evenly to the reactor, the iron content in the upper part of the array is lower and increases toward the substrate. The size of carbon-encapsulated iron-based nanoparticles is 20–30 nm, and, according to X-ray diffraction data, most of them are iron carbide Fe3C. The reasons for the gradient distribution of iron nanoparticles in MWCNT arrays were considered, and the possibilities of controlling their distribution were evaluated.
