High-strength composite materials based on aluminum reinforced by micro and nanostructures (mini review)

Abstract

This mini review focuses on the analysis of the latest advances in the development of composite materials (CM) based on aluminum reinforced by micro and nanostructures. CM fabrication methods, different reinforcing additives (Al2O3, AlN, SiC, CuO, B4C, Li3N, C, BN) and their morphological types (nanotubes, nanoplates, micro and nanoparticles), and the structure and properties of CM are considered. The paper demonstrates the importance of theoretical modeling methods in studying the strength of interfaces in CM.
