Abstract

Abstract The present research systematically investigated the novel low-temperature fabrication of a multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/barium titanate nanocomposite using a two-step mixing technique. The synthesis was conducted using different amounts of MWCNT (0.25%, 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 4%, and 8% wt) with different compositions of (Bi 2 O 3 + B 2 O 3 ) as a sintering aid. Scanning and transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, three-point bending strength, Vickers hardness indentation and Archimedean technique were used to characterize the as-synthesized specimens. It was found that the appropriate content of sintering aid (Bi 2 O 3 +B 2 O 3 ) strongly decreased the sintering temperature from 1200 °C to 950 °C. The results also revealed that any sintering aid with the optimum composition that included 30% (mol) Bi 2 O 3 was optimal for a sintering aid content of 6% (wt). Consequently, the highest values of the flexural strength and fracture toughness were achieved by applying the optimal amounts of MWCNT (1% wt) and sintering aid (6% wt).
