Abstract
An optimized molar ratio of magnesia (MgO) and boric acid (H3BO3) was used to synthesize the nanorod of single-phase magnesium borate (Mg2B2O5) through a solution reaction cum sintering process. Due to their impressive mechanical strength and resistance to heat and corrosion, magnesium borates (MB) nanorods are extensively applicable as reinforcing materials. A meticulous examination was undertaken to assess the characterization and physico-mechanical properties of Mg2B2O5 (MB) nanorods during the sintering process between 700 °C and 1200 °C. Mechanical properties of synthesized MB compacts were investigated between 700 and 1200 °C. The maximum value of high temperature flexural strength (HMOR) and room temperature flexural strength (CMOR) achieved by MB compacts are 42 MPa and 53 MPa respectively. Furthermore, the compacts have a maximum compressive strength of 118 MPa and a maximum hardness of 64 HV at 1100 °C, making it promising reinforcing material for composites.
期刊介绍:
Current Applied Physics (Curr. Appl. Phys.) is a monthly published international journal covering all the fields of applied science investigating the physics of the advanced materials for future applications.
Other areas covered: Experimental and theoretical aspects of advanced materials and devices dealing with synthesis or structural chemistry, physical and electronic properties, photonics, engineering applications, and uniquely pertinent measurement or analytical techniques.
Current Applied Physics, published since 2001, covers physics, chemistry and materials science, including bio-materials, with their engineering aspects. It is a truly interdisciplinary journal opening a forum for scientists of all related fields, a unique point of the journal discriminating it from other worldwide and/or Pacific Rim applied physics journals.
Regular research papers, letters and review articles with contents meeting the scope of the journal will be considered for publication after peer review.
The Journal is owned by the Korean Physical Society.
