Morphological Study of Coated Silicon Carbide Particle with Multi Wall Carbon Nano Tubes

摘要

Silicon carbide particle (SiCp) of 400 mesh size is coated with Multi Wall Carbon Nano Tubes (MWCNT) of 10-20nm diameter and 20-100μm length by sonication. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) is to verify whether the MWCNT is coated uniformly on the SiCp. Four different samples in which SiCp ranges between 10% and 15% and MWCNT ranges between 1% and 1.5% are prepared. The amount of reinforced particles was selected on the basis of improved mechanical properties.
