Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is the excellent reinforcement of magnesium based composit due to it’s fantastic mechanical properties, such as high strength and high elastic modulus. The keypoint is how to obtain the well-devisified CNTs with good interface bonding in the Matrix. CNTs will be coated with MgO by suitable process, which could effective disperse the CNTs in the Mg matrix by the medium of MgO acting as potent heterogeneous nucleation sites for α-Mg phase, since the interface of MgO/α-Mg is semicoherent with small crystallographic misfit. This novel idea could realize the combination of effective dispersion of CNTs with the grain refinement of the α-Mg matrix, then improve the mechanical properties of Mg based composite. .This project will study the relationships among interface, microstructure, mechanical properties and fracture feature of Mg based composite by CNTs coating with MgO. The interface behavior of this composite will be focused by analysis the interface structure, bonding strength and failure mechanism of interfaces among CNTs/MgO/α-Mg, which will further be used to adjust the interface. The strenghening mechanism of Mg based composite with CNTs will be studied. The theoretical model of elastic modulus of Mg based composite with CNTs will be constructed. This project has significant scientific meaning for the development and design theory of Mg based composite with high performance and promotes its application.
