Composite Ceramic Based on Cubic Boron Nitride and Carbon Nanostructures

Abstract

Hot pressing is used to prepare composite ceramic based on cubic boron nitride (CBN) reinforced with carbon nanostructures. Carbon nanostructures (CNS) are synthesized by hydrocarbon pyrolysis in a plasm-jet reactor in an argon plasma. The effect of composite material nanostructuring is obtained from results of study and specification of test composite specimens and starting materials by physicochemical methods, x-ray diffraction, and electron microscopy. This leads to a change in its functional properties.
