摘要
Multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) have been considered a realistic kind of reinforcement for composite materials. In this paper, microstructure and mechanical properties of the aluminum borate whisker (ABOw) and MWNTs hybrid composites were investigated. The results show that MWNTs decrease the compressive deformation of the hybrid preforms and are kept intact in the matrix during squeeze cast processing. A small amount of MWNTs may effectively improve the modulus, strength and elongation of the hybrid composite. Decreasing micropores and strengthening the matrix, high strength MWNTs make the mechanical properties of the hybrid composite superior to the singularly reinforced ones. This makes MWNTs a promising material for novel micro/nanohybrid composite. (C) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
