AB - Efforts have been made to manufacture novel composite materials with improved propertiesby incorporating multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) into metal or brittle ceramic.Here we prepared dense MWNT/diamond/silicon carbide (SiC) composites underhigh-pressure and high-temperature (HPHT) conditions by anchoring MWNTs into adiamond/SiC matrix. The measured mechanical properties indicate that the compositeshave both superior hardness and enhanced fracture toughness. Moreover, we haveundertaken an x-ray diffraction line-broadening analysis to elucidate how themicrostructures including domain sizes and micro-strains depend on the externally appliedtemperature and how the microstructures correlate to the macroproperties of theas-fabricated composites.
