Accumulative roll bonding was adapted to fabricate a carbon nanotube reinforced aluminum matrix composite. The microstructure was investigated by transmission electron microscopy, and it was confirmed that the nanotubes were embedded into the metal matrix while maintaining their multiwalled...

Microstructure-property correlation in magnesium-based hydrogen storage systems- The case for ball-milled magnesium hydride powder and Mg-based multilayered composites
DownloadSpring 2011
The main focus of this thesis is the characterization of defects and microstructure in high-energy ball milled magnesium hydride powder and magnesium-based multilayered composites. Enhancement in kinetics of hydrogen cycling in magnesium can be achieved by applying severe plastic deformation. A...

Tailoring sorption properties of nano-sized multilayer structured magnesium for hydrogen storage
DownloadFall 2012
To tailor the hydrogen sorption properties of magnesium, improve its poor kinetics and alter its thermodynamics properties, sputtered multilayer Mg-based thin films were prepared in which Mg layers were confined by AlTi layers. Multilayer samples of different Mg thickness showed relatively long...

We have designed and engineered bi-catalyst magnesium hydride composites with superior sorption performance to that of ball milled magnesium hydride catalyzed with the individual baseline catalysts. We have examined the effect of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT)-metallic nanoparticle...
