Preparation and mechanical properties of carbon nanotube-silicon nitride nano-ceramic matrix composites
Carbon nanotube-silicon nitride nano-ceramic matrix composites were fabricated by hot-pressing nano-sized Si3N4 powders and carbon nanotubes.The effect of CNTs on the mechanical properties of silicon nitride was researched.The phase compositions and the microstructure characteristics of the samples as well as the distribution of carbon nanotube in the silicon nitride ceramic were analyzed by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope.The results show that the microstructure of composites consists mainly of α-Si3N4,β-Si3N4,Si2N2O and carbon natubes.The addition of proper amount of carbon nanotubes can improve the fracture toughness and the flexural strength,and the optimal amount of carbon nanotube are both 3wt.%.However the Vickers hardness values decrease with the increase of carbon nanotubes content.
