| This paper addresses nanoengineering approaches developed to synthesize metal (Al)-graphene and metal (Al, Ni, Ti, nano-Ti) - ceramic (yttrium stabilized zirconia) nanocomposites. Approaches are considered which provide "wafer-coating" and "bulk composite" geometries of the synthesized nanocomposites. With the experimental data on their microstructure, phase composition, thermal, and mechanical characteristics, we discuss the effects of nanoinclusions on the properties exhibited by these nanocomposites. Optimized synthesis technologies are suggested which allow one to fabricate metal-ceramic and metal-graphene nanocomposites with desired structures and properties. |
