The rapid prototyping (RP) technology has been advanced for various applications such as verification of design, functional test. Recently, researchers have studied various materials to fabricate functional RP parts. In this research, a nano composite deposition system (NCDS), which can fabricate various nano composites using polymer resins with various nano particles, was introduced. The NCDS is a hybrid system in which material removal process by mechanical micro machining and/or the deposition process is combined. To predict the mechanical behavior of nano composite part made by NCDS, it is critical to understand the mechanical properties of the NCDS material. The NCDS process was characterizes by process parameters such as raster orientation, bead width, weight percent, and curing condition. Tensile strengths and compressive strengths of fabricated specimens with various raster orientation were measured, and various sample parts made of nano composites were fabricated using NCDS.

The current research paper discusses the characterization and machining (turning) operation of aluminium (Al) and silicon carbide nano particle (SiCp) nano composite. The paper reveals proper distribution of silicon carbide nano particles (25nm) with aluminium metal matrix. Initially, tensile test has been carried on metal matrix nano composite to study its different properties. It was noticed that the properties of Al-SiCp increases by increasing the weight percentage of SiCp. Viker hardness test has also been conducted to find out the hardness of metal matrix nano composites. Different techniques i.e. Optical microscopy EDX-Analysis were utilized to find out various ingredients of the nano-composite material. The experimental study was carried out using Taguchi L16 orthogonal array by taking three different factors at four different levels each. The response parameters i.e. flank wear of coated carbide insert and surface roughness of Al-SiCp has been optimized by using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Various graphs like main effect plot and normal probability plot have been plotted and studied properly. Different optical images of coated insert carbide tools (Insert CNMG 12040822TN 6010) at different runs were conducted to visualize the effects of process and response parameters. From the ANOVA table, it was found that cutting speed as well as depth of cut are found to the most vital parameters in influencing the responses for VBc and depth of cut and feed are found to the most significant parameters in influencing the responses for Ra.

<p>In the present work, Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>/A356<sub> </sub>nano composites with different Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> nano sizes (10 and 20 nm) and weight percentages (1 and 2 wt.%) have been prepared using rheocasting technique and followed by hot deformation at 250 °C with different ratios (30 and 40%). Pin on disc wear test was used to study wear behavior of prepared Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>/A356<sub> </sub>nano composites while scanning electron microscopy used to build up the wear mechanism. The results showed that the hot deformed nano Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> /A356 composites have lower wear rate compared with non deformed one. Furthermore, with increasing the particle size and percentage of Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> nano particles, wear rate decreased. The optimal result was achieved at the nano-composite containing 20 nm Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> particles after hot deformation with ratio of 40%. SEM studies of the worn surfaces of nano composites showed that the main wear mechanism was oxidative in conjunction with metallic one.</p>

The (PMMA/PVA–Mn) Nano-composites films were prepared via a photopolymerization method with different percentages (0.0%, 0.1%, and 0.2%) Of Mn with (20%PVA /80%PMMA,30%PVA/70%PMMA ad 40%PVA/60% PMMA) . The structural, bacterial, and mechanical properties of Nano-composites, were studied, X-ray properties of Mn nanoparticle which studied. Scanning electron microscopy analysis was employed to evaluate the morphological and structural properties of each thin film Nanocomposite. Moreover, the effect of Streptococcus mutans antibacterial of those materials was analyzed. Results: The morphological studies represented that both non-functionalized and Bio functionalized manganese oxide NPs (MnNPs) formed are of spherical morphology but exhibited with a difference in size about 20 nm and 27-40 nm, respectively. The performance of the antimicrobial activity. The results are revealed that the Bio functionalized MoNPs showed higher antibacterial. Results show that values increase in each of Mn Nanoparticle and with different concentrations of (PVA/PMMA) polymer, then decrease alternately less value of volume fraction of fillers. Young modules values increase alternately by the volume fraction of fillers.

The synergistic effects of zinc oxide (ZnO) Micro/Nano particles simultaneously filled in low-density polyethylene (LDPE) on the space charge characteristics and electrical properties has been investigated by melt blending micro-scale and nanoscale ZnO additive particles into LDPE matrix to prepare Micro-ZnO, Nano-ZnO, and Micro-Nano ZnO/LDPE composites. The morphological structures of composite samples are characterized by Polarizing Light Microscopy (PLM), and the space charge accumulations and insulation performances are correlated in the analyses with Pulse Electronic Acoustic (PEA), DC breakdown field strength, and conductance tests. It is indicated that both the micro and nano ZnO fillers can introduce plenty of heterogeneous nuclei into the LDPE matrix so as to impede the LDPE spherocrystal growth and regularize the crystalline grains in neatly-arranged morphology. By filling microparticles together with nanoparticles of ZnO additives, the space charge accumulations are significantly inhibited under an applied DC voltage and the minimum initial residual charges with the slowest charge decaying rate have been achieved after an electrode short connection. While the micro-nano ZnO/LDPE composites acquire the lowest conductivity, the breakdown strengths of the ZnO/LDPE nanocomposite and micro-nano composite are, respectively, 13.7% and 3.4% higher than that of the neat LDPE material.

Addition of nano particles, even in quantities as small as 2 weight percent can enhance the hardness or yield strength by a factor as high as 2. There are several methods for the production of metal matrix nanocomposites including mechanical alloying, vertex process, and spray deposition and so forth. However, the above processes are expensive. Solidification processing is a relatively cheaper route. During solidification processing, nano particulates tend to agglomerate as a result of van der Waals forces and thus proper dispersion of the nano particulate in metal matrix is a challenge. In the present study a noncontact method, where the ultrasonic probe is not in direct contact with the liquid metal, was attempted to disperse nanosized SiC particulates in aluminum matrix. In this method, the mold was subjected to ultrasonic vibration. Hardness measurements and microstructural studies using HRTEM were carried out on samples taken from different locations of the nanocomposite ingot cast by this method.

Abstract Nano composite coatings on HSLA ASTM A860 alloy, adds to the barrier efficacy by increase in the microhardness, wear and corrosion resistance of the substrate material. Additionally, reduction of delamination of the nano composite coating sample is ascertained. Ball milling is availed to curtail the coating samples (Al2O3/ZrO2) to nano size, for forming a electrodeposited product on the substrate layer. The curtailment in grain size was ascertained to be 17.62% in Ni-Al2O3/ZrO2 nano composite coating. During the deposition process, due to the presence of Al2O3/ZrO2 nano particles an increase in cathode efficiency is ascertained. An XRD analysis of the nano composite coating indicates a curtailment in grain size along with increase in the nucleation sites causing a surge in the growth of nano coating layer. In correlation to uncoated HSLA ASTM A36 alloy sample, a surge in compressive residual stress by 47.14%, reduction of waviness by 32.14% (AFM analysis), upsurge in microhardness by 67.77% is ascertained in Ni-Al2O3/ZrO2 nano composite coating. Furthermore, in nano coated Ni-Al2O3/ZrO2 composite a reduction is observed pertaining to weight loss and friction coefficients by 27.44% and 13% in correlation to plain uncoated alloy respectively. A morphology analysis after nano coating indicates, Ni-Al2O3/ZrO2 particles occupy the areas of micro holes, reducing the wide gaps and crevice points inside the matrix of the substrate, enacting as a physical barrier to upsurge the corrosion resistance by 67.72% in correlation to HSLA ASTM A860 base alloy.
