Description
Summary:Nanomaterials synthesis and characterization have been very active development fields for many years, motivated by the prospect of extremely high mechanical properties coupled with useful plasticity and elevated temperature properties. We will briefly review the history of nanomaterials research, describe the principal synthesis routes for particles, and review the availability of consolidation technology capable of producing shapes which may demonstrate the physical properties which researchers have predicted and expected. We have concluded from our review and from our own research in nanomaterials, that much more effort now be invested in consolidation development in order to begin the commercialization of nanograined solids as engineering materials. We will emphasize consolidation process efforts which, for the most part, seem to be in their infancy with regard to nanomaterials. Nanocrystalline, Nanophase, Consolidation, Powder synthesis.
