“…Because of the isotropy, compatibility with hot processing, low cost, and the controllability of properties of the discontinuous TMCs, it has attracted wide attention from researchers all over the world. Up to now, various reinforcements have been used to improve the properties of TMCs, such as Al 2 O 3 [1], SiC [2], graphene [3][4][5], CNTs [6], TiC [7], TiB [8][9][10][11], Nb 2 O 3 [12], La 2 O 3 [13] and so on. Among all the reinforcements mentioned in literature, graphene, TiC and TiB were most widely investigated.…”
