Full Description
From the Foreword, written by legendary nano pioneer M. Meyyappan, Chief Scientist for Exploration Technology NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, California, USA:"...there is critical need for a book to summarize the status of the field but more importantly to lay out the principles behind the technology. This is what Professor Arvind Agarwal and his co-workers ... have done here."Carbon Nanotubes: Reinforced Metal Matrix Composites reflects the authors' desire to share the benefits of nanotechnology with the masses by developing metal matrix carbon nanotube (MM-CNT) composites for large-scale applications. Multiwall carbon nanotubes can now be produced on a large scale and at a significantly reduced cost. The book explores potential applications and applies the author's own research to highlight critical developmental issues for different MM-CNT composites-and then outline novel solutions.With this problem-solving approach, the book explores:Advantages, limitations, and the evolution of processing techniques used for MM-CNT composites Characterization techniques unique to the study of MM-CNT composites-and the limitations of these methodsExisting research on different MM-CNT composites, presented in useful tables that include composition, processing method, quality of CNT dispersion, and propertiesThe micro-mechanical strengthening that results from adding CNTThe applicability of micro-mechanics models in MM-CNT compositesSignificance of chemical stability for carbon nanotubes in the metal matrix as a function of processing, and its impact on CNT/metal interface and mechanical propertiesComputational studies that have not been sufficiently covered although they are essential to research and developmentThe critical issue of CNT dispersion in the metal matrix, as well as a unique way to quantify CNT distribution and subsequently improve control of the processing parameters for obtaining improved propertiesCarbon Nanotubes: Reinforced Metal Matrix Composites paints a vivid picture of scientific and application achievements in this field. Exploring the mechanisms through which CNTs are enhancing the properties of different metal-based composites, the authors provide a roadmap to help researchers develop MM-CNT composites and choose potential materials for use in emerging areas of technology.
