“…The growing interest in the development of metallic matrix nanocomposites (MMNCs) is attributed to the extraordinary mechanical, physical and chemical properties that can be obtained by combining different types of materials. This development depends on several factors, since the improvement in the mechanical properties of the metallic matrices is strongly related, not only to the composition of the reinforcement material used, but also to its size, morphology, volume fraction, interfacial bonding to the matrix and the uniformity of its dispersion in the metal matrix [1,2].…”

The development of metal nanocomposites reinforced by carbon nanotubes (CNTs) remains a focus of the scientific community due to the growing need to produce lightweight advanced materials with unique mechanical properties. However, for the successful production of these nanocomposites, there is a need to consolidate knowledge about how reinforcement influences the matrix microstructure and which are the strengthening mechanisms promoting the best properties. In this context, this investigation focuses on the study of the reinforcement effect on the microstructure of an Ni-CNT nanocomposites produced by powder metallurgy. The microstructural evolution was analysed by electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD). The EBSD results revealed that the dispersion/mixing and pressing processes induce plastic deformation in the as-received powders. The dislocation structures produced in those initial steps are partially eliminated in the sintering process due to the activation of recovery and recrystallization mechanisms. However, the presence of CNTs in the matrix has a significant effect on the dislocation annihilation, thus reducing the recovery of the dislocation structures.

“…Spark plasma sintering (SPS) is a comparatively new sintering method for densification of various ceramic [1] or metallic [2] systems at lower sintering temperature and shorter sintering time, in comparison to conventional sintering methods such as hot press (HP) or hot isostatic press (HIP). SPS process is Similar to HP method.…”

“…Temperature and time are the most important parameters, greatly affecting the physicomechanical properties of materials. A comprehensive survey on literatures conducted by the authors showed that these parameters affect the densification behavior of metals and alloys.There are numerous papers in the field of sintering metallic samples by SPS [2,9,10].…”

As of today, metals and alloys are widely utilized as structural, mechanical, electrical, and magnetic materials in every aspect of technology and industry. The complexity and diversity of metals applications emphasize the need for a new production method to quickly and easily manufacture metallic components. Spark plasma sintering as a new solidstate sintering method has been recently developed to respond to these needs. Up to now, numerous papers and researches have been published in the field of spark plasma sintering and its ability to manufacture metallic samples. Density is a significant property that has a great influence on the physical, mechanical, and functional properties of metallic parts. To the best of our knowledge, there is no concrete paper that reviews the densification behavior of metals and alloys during spark plasma sintering and the effect of its parameters on the density of metallic samples. As a result, this article dedicated to addressing this need. In this mini-review, after a short description of spark plasma sintering method, the effects of each sintering parameters on densification behavior of metals and alloys are studied, and possible physical and microstructural factors which have the effect of densification behavior of metallic samples at various sintering conditions are reviewed. Finally, the recent advances in finite element modeling, which study the temperature and stress inhomogeneity in the SPS process, have been reviewed in this paper.

“…Since the discovery of carbon nanotubes and, in particular, the realization of their unique performance [1][2][3][4], much effort has been devoted to develop advanced nanocomposites with carbon nanotubes as reinforcement [5][6][7][8][9][10]. Full understanding of the excellent behavior of carbon nanotubereinforced nanocomposites requires knowledge of the interactions at the interface between the carbon nanotubes and the matrix [11][12][13][14][15][16].…”

The current state of characterization techniques for the interface in carbon nanotube-reinforced polymer nanocomposites is reviewed. Different types of interfaces that exist within the nanocomposites are summarized, and current efforts focused on understanding the interfacial properties and interactions are reviewed. The emerging trends in characterization techniques and methodologies for the interface are presented, and their strengths and limitations are summarized. The intrinsic mechanism of the interactions at the interface between the carbon nanotubes and the polymer matrix is discussed. Special attention is given to research efforts focused on chemical functionalization of carbon nanotubes. The benefits and disadvantages associated with covalent and noncovalent functionalization methods are evaluated, respectively. Various techniques used to characterize the properties of the interface are extensively reviewed. How the mechanical and thermal properties of the nanocomposites depend on the physical and chemical nature of the interface is also discussed. Better understanding and design of the interface at the atomic level could become the forefront of research in the polymer community. Potential problems going to be solved are finally highlighted.
