Abstract
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) based materials possess strong potential to substitute various functional materials developed exclusively for aerospace applications. However, because of the low oxidation temperature of CNTs (400-500 oC), using CNT based ceramic nanocomposites in high temperature applications can be problematic. Making ceramic-CNT nanocomposites by atomic layer deposition (ALD) method and field assisted sintering technology (FAST) is a good route to improve oxidative stability of CNTs. In this study, thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) of alumina coated CNTs (prepared by ALD) and alumina-CNT nanocomposites (prepared by FAST) were carried out. 16% improvements were observed in the oxidation resistance for alumina-CNT nanocompo-sites prepared by ALD and SPS techniques. Different strategies to improve oxidation resistance are discussed.
