Abstract
In recent years, aluminium (Al) matrix reinforced with graphene-based nanomaterial (GN) composites (AGNCs) have emerged as a potential candidate for various applications due to their lightweight combined with excellent mechanical, tribological, thermal, and electrical properties. This paper is intended to provide a comprehensive and critical review of the state-of-the-art research activities related to the processing, properties, and applications of AGNCs. The review begins by highlighting the need for “lightweighting” and AGNCs, followed by a short introduction to the structure and properties of GNs. It covers the current challenges in the processing of AGNCs, such as low wettability, interfacial reactions, and agglomeration of GNs. Different consolidation and post-processing techniques used for the fabrication of AGNCs are also presented. Subsequently, the effect of GN addition on properties of AGNCs is critically reviewed. Different micromechanical models used for quantifying the strengthening of AGNCs aided by various strengthening mechanisms are also elucidated. More importantly, based on the reported properties, the potential and promising applications of AGNCs in various industries, such as automobile, aerospace, space, electrical, electronics, and energy systems, have been proposed. Afterwards, the current understanding of AGNCs is thoroughly summarized. Finally, directions for future research in the field of AGNCs have been suggested.
期刊介绍:
Progress in Materials Science is a journal that publishes authoritative and critical reviews of recent advances in the science of materials. The focus of the journal is on the fundamental aspects of materials science, particularly those concerning microstructure and nanostructure and their relationship to properties. Emphasis is also placed on the thermodynamics, kinetics, mechanisms, and modeling of processes within materials, as well as the understanding of material properties in engineering and other applications.
The journal welcomes reviews from authors who are active leaders in the field of materials science and have a strong scientific track record. Materials of interest include metallic, ceramic, polymeric, biological, medical, and composite materials in all forms.
Manuscripts submitted to Progress in Materials Science are generally longer than those found in other research journals. While the focus is on invited reviews, interested authors may submit a proposal for consideration. Non-invited manuscripts are required to be preceded by the submission of a proposal. Authors publishing in Progress in Materials Science have the option to publish their research via subscription or open access. Open access publication requires the author or research funder to meet a publication fee (APC).
Abstracting and indexing services for Progress in Materials Science include Current Contents, Science Citation Index Expanded, Materials Science Citation Index, Chemical Abstracts, Engineering Index, INSPEC, and Scopus.
