In this work, we studied the effects of different reinforcements on a metal matrix composite (MMC) using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, where graphene was chosen as two-dimensional (2D) material and diamond selected three-dimensional (3D) material. Sintering tensile processes were conducted MMC models containing various sizes, with same surface area compared. The results indicated that 2D...

Agarose, a naturally occurring biopolymer is used for the stabilization of metal, semiconductor nanoparticles. Ag and Cu nanoparticles stabilized in agarose matrix show excellent antibacterial activity against E. coli bacteria. The well dispersed metal nanoparticles within the agarose composite films can be readily converted to carbon–metal composites of catalytic importance.

Abstract Directed energy deposition (DED) was used to produce niobium carbide (NbC)‐reinforced Ti6Al4V (Ti64) metal–matrix‐composite (MMC) structures. The objective improve upon Ti64's wear and oxidation resistance. characterization techniques consisted of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), backscattered (BSE) imaging, energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (EDS), diffraction analysis (XRD), the...
