Most polymers by themselves have limitations due to their poor mechanical, thermal and electrical properties compared with metallic and ceramic materials. Therefore, to expand their range of applications these properties ...

The present thesis focuses on the fabrication of aluminum wires by adding XB2 nanoparticles into an aluminum matrix, where X is a transition metal: Nb, Mg and Zr. The incorporation of aluminum in the XB2 particles is ...

The present study involves a novel method to synthesize under vacuum (AlMg)B2 – aluminum based composites. Incorporation of MgB2 into aluminum is a complex process because of the lack of wettability between both components. ...

Functionally graded advanced composite materials contain reinforcement particles whose volume fraction varies continuously thereby bearing a non-uniform microstructure with continuously changing properties. Aluminum-based ...

Bio-ferroelectric composites have recently sparked intensive research in order to develop inexpensive and environmental electronic devices such as capacitors, transistors, and actuators. The present research involves the ...

Chemical dealloying can be used to fabricate porous metals by removing one or more of the species out of an alloy. Generally, a corrosive electrolyte is used to selectively dissolve a noble element. Alloy concentration, ...

Soil pollution generates diseases, hunger, and agricultural problems. Porous recycled glass beds were produced to study the feasibility of using them for polluted soil filtering. This research discusses structural and ...

A novel aluminum matrix composite reinforced with ceramic particles of AlB2 obtained through a cast process at temperatures below 800°C using commercial alloys of aluminum-boron (5 wt%. B) and aluminum-copper (33.2 wt%. ...

Aluminum, its alloys and composites are widely used in many modern life applications, such as microelectromechanical systems. In this research, an aluminum matrix composite reinforced with AlB2 particles was studied in ...

The aerospace industry has focused on the development of high performance polyimide foams because these materials are known for their thermal and acoustic insulation properties. Tortuosity is defined as a parameter that ...
