Fabrication of aluminum-based composites reinforced by ceramic particles or intermetallic phases has focused considerable attention in recent decades because significant improvement in mechanical properties and thermal stability. This paper has considered in-situ fabrication by mean of reactive sintering of blended and compacted powders containing an aluminum-copper hardenable alloy and titanium dioxide. An experimental program has been dedicated to optimize the sintering parameters in terms of both treatments temperature, between 650 and 800°C, and duration, in the range of 3 to 6 hours. Microstructural analysis based on Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) has been used to determine of distribution of elements involved in sintering reactions, such as aluminum, titanium and oxygen.

AbstractCarbon black in the form of nanoparticle chains is used as a reinforcing filler in elastomers. However, the dynamics of the filler particles under tension and their role in the improvement of the mechanical properties of rubber are not well understood. We have studied experimentally the dynamics of isolated nanoparticle chain aggregates (NCAs) of carbon made by laser ablation, and also that of carbon black embedded in a polymer film. In situ studies of stretching and contraction of such chains in the transmission electron microscope (TEM) were conducted under different maximum values of strain. Stretching causes initially folded NCA to reorganize into a straight, taut configuration. Further stretching leads to either plastic deformation and breakage (at 37.4% strain) or to a partial elastic behavior of the chain at small strains (e.g. 2.3% strain). For all cases the chains were very flexible under tension. Similar reorientation and stretching was observed for carbon black chains embedded in a polymer film. Such flexible and elastic nature of NCAs point towards a possible mechanism of reinforcement of rubber by carbon black fillers.
