Laminate carbon nanotube (CNT)/Al–Cu–Mg composites consisting of alternate ductile
layers (coarse or ultrafine grain Al) free of CNTs and brittle layers (ultrafine grain) rich in …

To overcome strength-ductility trade-off in particulate metal matrix composites (PRMMCs),
we developed a novel and controllable strategy, for the first time, via a combination of …

In this work, the copper (Cu) matrix composites reinforced by medium entropy alloy (MEA)
CrCoNi particles with microlaminated structure were successfully fabricated using vacuum …

The uniform dispersion of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is usually accompanied by severe grain
refinement of Al matrix, which leads to the low ductility of CNT/Al alloy composites. To …

Strength and ductility are often a paradox in carbon nanotubes (CNTs) reinforced Cu matrix
composite, as well as strength and electrical conductivity. Interface and characteristics of …

There is a significant demand for Cu-based materials with high strength and high electrical
conductivity for a wide range of applications. However, the long-standing trade-off between …

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes/copper (MWCNTs/Cu) composites with a nanolaminated
structure have been successfully prepared via flake powder metallurgy. The key strategies …

A dual-scale hybrid HfB 2/Cu-Hf composite with HfB 2 microparticles and Cu 5 Hf
nanoprecipitates was designed and prepared. The contribution of the hybrid effect to the …

The trade-off between strength and ductility has been a dilemma in copper matrix
composites. In this work, we introduce a way of strengthening copper matrix composites …

As a promising architecture reinforcement, the three-dimensional (3D) configuration of
nanocarbon holds great prospects in achieving a strength-ductility combination for metal …
