Abstract

Recent work on particle reinforced metal-matrix nanocomposites (MMNCs), Syntactic Foams, and Self-Healing Metals by solidification synthesis will be reviewed. Particle-based MMNCs have been developed by several modern processing tools based on either solid- or liquid-phase synthesis techniques and are claimed to exhibit very exciting mechanical properties including significant improvements of modulus, yield strength, and ultimate tensile strength. The paper will describe work at UWM along with a critical review of work done elsewhere to identify the challenges and future opportunities in this area. Recent work will also be presented on synthesis and properties of energy-absorbing Al and Mg-based syntactic foams with a comparison to other related materials reported in the literature. In addition, advances in self-healing metal matrix composites will be discussed.
