Processing Techniques for Nanostructured Materials
Abstract:
Nanostructuring of materials offers a broad variety of possible improvements in structural and functional properties. While fundamental research was mainly oriented on the understanding of nanostructure properties relations, another challenge is the development of reliable and cost effective techniques for the processing of materials towards nanostructuring. The paper demonstrates some results of powder technology and rapid solidification in processing of the nanostructured state. In the focus is also the consolidation of disperse systems by Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) as a technique that allows for rapid densification at lower temperatures to prevent grain growth. Examples of materials research will include thermoelectric materials, hydrogen storage, high strength aluminium alloys as well as interfacial designed heat sink materials.
