Research progress in graphene reinforced aeronautical metal matrix composites

Abstract

The research status of graphene reinforced metal matrix aeronautical composites was reviewed, and its preparation methods were summarized. The effect of graphene on the properties of composites and mechanisms were discussed. At present, there is still lack of the research on the high content of aligned graphene reinforced metal matrix aeronautical composites. It was pointed out some related problems that need further study, including technological parameters, microstructure, interface chemistry and high temperature physical properties, etc. The emphasis of the future research should be changed from the process of preparation method to the design of micro composite configuration.
