▎ 摘 要
NOVELTY - Fabricating conductive ceramic composite involves performing density calculations such that sample having 2 wt.% ratio has the highest value of density as compared to 0.5-1.0 wt.% concentration samples, where sample having 0.5 wt.% graphene concentration is noted to be 28% less dense than pure alumina samples in comparison to pure alumina, and the reduction in density is attributed to the sintering method, i.e. box furnace in air atmosphere. USE - Method for fabricating conductive ceramic for use in applications such as aerospace, military, power generation, transportation, biomedical sciences and electronics. ADVANTAGE - The decreasing porosity trend of samples is observed with increasing content of graphene in the composites. The decrease in porosity is a consequence of filling up of voids by reinforcement after sintering with a minimum value of 23.7% porosity in alumina and 2 wt.% graphene samples. The sintering in inert atmosphere is capable of improving yield of composites of comparatively better quality, i.e. composites retaining the constituent materials. The resulting composites is electrically conducting as compared to non-conducting pure alumina samples, and the maximum value of current conducted is 3.0×10-9 Ampere by the 2 wt.% graphene sample at 900 Volts (V). The method enables to provide ceramic with complex shapes and high accuracy, so that high hardness of ceramics is achieved. The method enables to solve the problem of brittleness of ceramic materials as a result of occurrence of ionic and weaker covalent bonds, low fracture toughness is a key drawback in ceramics, which increases the capability of ceramics to be implemented in structural applications.
