“…The first studied graphene-based composite among metal-graphene composites is graphene-reinforced aluminum matrix composite. Bartolucci et al asserted in 2011 that graphene platelet composites and Al powder were generated by ball milling, warm iso-static pressing and extrusion [51]. The development of Al carbide described the inferior mechanical characteristics of the composite during the consolidation and subsequent heating and extrusion phase.…”

Two-dimensional (2D) graphene and its outstanding properties such as, enormous conductivities, mechanical strength, optical and electrical properties brought it one of the most studied materials for the production of energy using renewable resources. The composites of graphene with the same morphological materials such as layered transition metal oxides will be the most aspiring combination to boost their conducting, optoelectronic and mechanical properties. Furthermore, the transition metal chalcogenides materials attracted significant attention due to their atomically thin layers and enormous optical, conducting and electrical properties. The layered materials offer mostly atomically thin 2D plane to the charge carrier with superior conducting properties. The thickness at atomic level, band gap, spin orbit coupling electronic and optoelectronics properties of transition metal dichalcogenides makes them one of the promising entities in energy harvesting technologies. The review suggests some strategies to improve the transition metals-composites stability conducting properties to be tailored in various applications.

“…Recently, Gao et al [24], studied the effect of graphene nanoplatelets on mechanical properties of pure Al and they found that by increasing the graphene content the fracture mechanism of the composite changes from ductile fracture to brittle fracture. Hu et al [121] have studied the characteristics of Al/GNPs nanocomposites produced by 3D printing. In this work, the mixture of Al/GNPs powders was prepared by ball-milling with various graphene contents then sintered by the selective laser melting (SLM) to produce bulk Gr-Al composites.…”

Two-dimensional graphene nanoplatelets with unique electrical, mechanical and thermophysical characteristics are considered as an interesting reinforcement to develop new lightweight, high-strength, and high-performance metal matrix nanocomposites. On the other hand, by the rapid progress of technology in recent years, development of advanced materials like new metal matrix nanocomposites for structural engineering and functional device applications is a priority for various industries. This article provides an overview of research efforts with an emphasis on the fabrication and characterization of different metal matrix nanocomposites reinforced by graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs). Particular attention is devoted to find the role of GNPs on the final electrical and thermal conductivity, the coefficient of thermal expansion, and mechanical responses of aluminum, magnesium and copper matrix nanocomposites. In sum, this review pays specific attention to the structure-property relationship of these novel nanocomposites.

In the present work, a newly developed gas injection bottom pouring vacuum stir casting technique has been envisaged for the fabrication of Aluminium MMCs which is a fully automated and one of its kind. Aluminium 6063-T6 alloy is used as the matrix, and the aluminium oxide (Al2O3) particles are taken as reinforcement. Different experiments have been performed on the fabricated MMCs to ascertain its mechanical and morphological properties. The presence of various elements and grain morphology of the fabricated MMCs are confirmed by Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and mapping. The experimental results revealed that the hardness of Al/Al2O3MMC had increased by 1.71 times and maximum tensile strength had increased by 1.27 times in comparison to the monolithic aluminium alloy. The results establish that the proposed methodology of MMC fabrication can be effectively utilized for fabrication of homogeneously reinforced MMCs for various engineering and industrial applications.
