Preparation method and underlying mechanism of MWCNTs/Ti6Al4V nanocomposite powder for selective laser melting additive manufacturing
摘要： The fabrication of high-performance metal matrix nanocomposites is a new development direction in laser additive manufacturing (AM); however, the unique localized line-by-line and layer-by-layer forming process of AM has special requirements on the applicable powder materials for AM. The feedstock powder preparation is an important factor in laser AM, especially the CNTs/metal nanocomposite powder for selective laser melting (SLM) due to the agglomeration of the CNTs. This work focused on the preparation of multi-walled carbon nanotubes/Ti6Al4V (MWCNTs/TC4) nanocomposite powder for laser AM by a planetary ball-milling (PBM). The effect of ball-milling time on the characteristics of nanocomposite powder was studied and the underlying physical mechanism for powder preparation was disclosed. Three nanocomposite powders with milling time of 2 h, 4 h and 16 h were used for SLM processing to determine the optimal nanocomposite powders. The results showed that although the MWCNTs were dispersed uniformly in the matrix powder at increased milling time, severely plastic deformation of nanocomposite powder occurred with loss of its spherical shape. It was concluded that a ball-milling time of 4 h at a speed of 300 rpm was determined to achieve optimal nanocomposite powder for SLM. SLM processing of the nanocomposite powder demonstrated a smooth laser-powder interaction, yielding good metallurgical bonding of scanning tracks with previous tracks and relatively flat surface of samples. This work provided the significant reference to prepare high quality CNTs/metal nanocomposite powder for SLM, which has great potentials to fabricate high-performance metal matrix nanocomposite.

Facile preparation and properties of polyvinylidene fluoride dielectric nanocomposites <i>via</i> phase morphology control and incorporation of multiwalled carbon nanotubes conductive fillers
摘要： A novel PVDF dielectric nanocomposite was achieved by controlling phase morphology and incorporating conductive ?llers simultaneously, and the mechanical, thermal, dielectric properties of the resultant dielectric nanocomposites were investigated. Mechanical analysis showed that incorporation of modi?ed MWCNTs (MWCNTs-COOH) in the PVDF nanocomposites resulted in signi?cant improvements on the tensile strength (Ts) and elasticity modulus (Em). When the ?ller content was 12 wt%, the Ts of MWCNTs-COOH/PVDF could reach 64.6 MPa. XRD test showed that the addition of MWCNTs-COOH and MWCNTs promoted the formation of β-phase of PVDF. DMA analysis showed that the glass-transition temperature of the PVDF nanocomposites slightly increases on loading of original MWCNTs and this effect was more pronounced on loading MWCNTs-COOH. The dielectric property analysis showed that the original MWCNTs were more likely to form local conductive networks in the PVDF matrix, promoting the electron displacement polarization, and improving the dielectric constant. When the contents of MWCNTs was 12 wt%, the percolation threshold was obtained and the dielectric constant (ε0) reached 286, which was 36 times of pure PVDF. Our work provides a simple way to fabricate polymer blends with excellent dielectric performances, good mechanical properties as well as good processing capability but low cost.
