Abstract

The invention provides a preparation method of a carbon nanotube / alloy composite with directionally aligned carbon nanotubes. The method comprises the following steps: first, evenly mixing a carbon nanotube powder and an alloy powder according to proportion, and consolidating into block blanks; then heating the block blanks to a superplastic forming temperature of the alloy material in vacuum; and finally applying external force to form a velocity gradient field in the block blanks, so that carbon nanotubes align directionally along a filament line under the effect of fluid shear stress, and cooling and solidifying to obtain the carbon nanotube / alloy composite with directionally aligned carbon nanotubes. The invention solves the problem of directional alignment of carbon nanotubes in a carbon nanotube / alloy composite, so as to give full play to the performance of carbon nanotubes.

Technical field: [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of preparation of carbon nanotube / alloy composite materials, and in particular relates to a preparation method of carbon nanotube / alloy composite materials in which carbon nanotubes are oriented. Background technique: [0002] Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were discovered in January 1991 by Iijima, a physicist at the NEC Laboratory in Tsukuba, Japan, using a high-resolution analytical electron microscope from carbon fibers produced by the arc method. Due to their unique structure, extremely high mechanical properties, excellent electrical properties and chemical stability, carbon nanotubes have attracted widespread attention worldwide, and have broad application prospects in composite materials, hydrogen storage, sensors, field emission and other fields. The study found that aligned carbon nanotubes showed more excellent comprehensive properties. How to prepare carbon nanotubes with complete structure, high puri...
