The invention belongs to the technical field of
composite material preparation, and particularly relates to a
graphene aluminum-based
composite material and a preparation method thereof. In order to solve the problems that when a
graphene aluminum-based
composite material is prepared through an existing method, mixing is prone to being uneven,
graphene is prone to being burnt to form an aluminum-carbon phase, and the comprehensive performance needs to be improved, the preparation method of the graphene aluminum-based composite material is provided and comprises the following steps that a, graphene sheets and aluminum
powder are weighed, and the graphene sheets are added into an isopropanol solution to be pretreated; adding
polydimethylsiloxane into the aluminum
powder to obtain flaky aluminum
powder; b, the pretreated graphene, aluminum powder and a dispersing agent are jointly added into a conical mixing
machine to be mixed, exhaust and cold isostatic pressing are conducted, then
sintering is conducted,
extrusion molding is conducted, and a graphene aluminum base material is obtained; and c, adding the graphene aluminum base material into pure aluminum water according to a certain proportion, fully stirring, cooling, extruding, and performing
stress relief annealing to obtain the graphene aluminum-based composite material. The method can protect graphene, reduce defects, save energy and time, and is suitable for industrial production.
