Carbon Nanotube‐Reinforced Aluminum Matrix Composites
Source abstract
Abstract
Herein, the investigations conducted in the area of aluminum (Al) matrix composites reinforced with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are presented. The application of CNT reinforcement in Al alloys is driven by its exceptional chemical and mechanical properties. The critical issues in the processing techniques, challenges in the interfacial mechanisms between the Al matrix and CNTs, and strengthening effects due to the presence of reinforcements are reviewed. The mechanical properties of CNT/Al composites are found to be effectively enhanced with an addition of CNTs even at a small amount. The extent of strength improvements depends mainly on the dispersion of CNTs in the matrix and interfacial bonding between the matrix and CNTs. Limited theoretical modeling can predict the properties of CNT/Al composites to some extent, but without considering the detailed processing parameters. Based on the gaps identified here, future research directions are suggested, including the relationships between the processing parameters and micro‐ and nanostructures, and multiscale mechanical modeling and simulation, aiming to further understand the strengthening mechanisms and develop advanced CNT‐reinforced Al and other metal composites for critical engineering applications.

According toScience Newsentitled “Air pollution kills 7 million people a year” on March 25 2014 athttp://www.sciencemag.org/news/2014/03/air-pollution-kills-7-million-people-year: “Air pollution isn't just harming Earth; it's hurting us too. Startling new numbers released by the World Health Organization today reveal that one in eight deaths are a result of exposure to air pollution. The data reveal a strong link between the tiny particles that we breathe into our lungs and the illnesses they can lead to including stroke heart attack lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.”; and recentScience Newsentitled “Air pollution is triggering diabetes in 3.2 million people each year” on July 9 2018 at https://www.sciencenews.org/article/air-pollution-triggering-diabetes-in-millions-each-year: “Fine particulate matter belched out by cars and factories and generated through chemical reactions in the atmosphere hang around as haze and make air hard to breathe. Air pollution has been linked to chronic conditions such as heart disease and diabetes (SN: 9/30/17 p.18).” The findings reveal that “air pollution [is] responsible for about 14 percent of new cases of diabetes worldwide.” “The World Health Organization estimates that 422 million people now live with type 2 diabetes – up from 108 million in 1980.”
