Aluminum nitride (AlN) particle reinforced metal-matrix-composites produced by pressure infiltration are characterized in terms of their thermal conductivity. The composites are designed to cover a wide range of phase contrast between the dispersed particl ...
This thesis investigates nine new compositions of the ternary Au-Cu-Pt system, containing from 75 to 78 wt% Au with 0 to 15 wt% Pt, by means of in-situ synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, transmission electron micros ...
Nanocomposite materials based on a HBP and silica are produced using either a dual-cure sol/gel and photopolymerization process or by mixing silica nanoparticles with the HBP. In both cases the conversion of the HBP is independent of composition and obeys ...
The main aim of this work was to study and understand the influence of SiC particles on the corrosion and tribocorrosion of Al-matrix composite materials. For that, Al-SiCp functionally graded composites were produced by centrifugal casting and different S ...
Metal matrix composites, made of Mg or Mg-2wt.%Si matrices reinforced with C or SiC long fibres, were processed by gas-pressure infiltration. Such composites are an advantageous solution for developing light metallic materials, which exhibit simultaneously ...
Ferroelectric ceramic – polymer composites have a unique mix of electrical and mechanical properties. Piezoelectric and pyroelectric activity, a wide range of dielectric constants and high breakdown strength are combined with mechanical flexibility, formab ...
An Al-6.3Li-0.07Sc-0.02Yb (at.%) alloy is subjected to a double-aging treatment to create nanoscale precipitates, which are studied by atom-probe tomography and transmission electron microscopy. After homogenization and quenching, Yb atoms form clusters ex ...
In the current research, pressureless melt infiltration (PM!) was applied to study the effect of different processing conditions on the final properties of Al/SiC composites, fabricated through the infiltration of aluminum melt into SiC particulates porous ...
We have developed hard self-lubricant coatings combining a hard matrix (TiN) and a self-lubricant phase in the form of inorganic-like WS2 fullerene. The nanoparticles were injected from the preparation chamber directly to the sample surface during reactive ...
The aim of this thesis was to investigate the process-structure-property relationships of UV-curable hyperbranched polymer (HBP)/silica nanocomposites. Special attention was paid to the interplay between photo-conversion, rheological behavior, shrinkage, a ...
