Research Interests:
Senior researcher in French national laboratory (CNRS) called ICMCB in Bordeaux (France). My main field of interest is the processing and the characterization of ceramic and inorganic multi materials going from metal and ceramic matrix composite (CMC and MMC) to functionally graded materials (FGM) with the aim to develop material with adaptive physical (thermal, electrical) and/or mechanical properties. We are currently working on new processes, for metal powder, like hot extrusion process, Equal-channel angular pressing, microwave sintering (with and with out pressure) and spark plasma sintering. For all of these materials the scientific approach is the following: 1. Definition of material specification from the industrial or the academic demand 2. Definition of the main component of the material 3. Numerical approach of the material architecture and of the final properties (model material can be use in that step) 4. Definition of the appropriate architecture 5. Definition of the elaboration process and conditions (temperature, time, pressure, atmosphere, …) 6. Definition and processing of the ideal interfacial zones between the components 7. Characterization of the components and of the interfacial zones 8. Characterization of the asked properties of the processing material 9. Correlation between the elaboration process and the final properties The different systems (Metal/Reinforcement) that have been studied are the following: (For all the following results all powder metallurgy material have been process using uniaxial hot pressing under controlled atmosphere) 1. NiAl/Al2O3 i. Liquid route (1800°C) : definition and elaboration of the hot equipment ii. PVD model materials iii. Optimisation of the interfacial zone (addition of Fe in the matrix) iv. Metallographic properties of the MMC v. Mechanical properties 2. SnAgCu/NiTi and SnPb/NiTi i. Liquid route ii. Model composite iii. Chemical coating (electroless) of the NiTi spherical particles: optimisation of the process in order to control the thickness, uniformity and adhesion of the coating iv. Metallographic properties of the MMC v. Industrial application: new solder joint for electronic industries 3. Al/C; Al/Au/C; Al/Ni/C; Cu/C (C: carbon long fibre, carbon short fibre, carbon particles) i. Liquid route ii. PVD model composite iii. Optimisation of the interfacial zone (to avoid the chemical reaction between C and Al: carbide formation) iv. Metallographic properties of the MMC v. Thermal and mechanical properties 4. Al (alloy)/TiB2 i. Liquid route ii. Ex-situ and in-situ MMC iii. Interfaces characterization (microstructural and chemical) iv. Metallographic properties of the MMC v. Mechanical properties vi. Correlation between the alloying elements and the final mechanical properties 5. Cu(alloy)/C (C: carbon short fibre and carbon particles) i. Liquid route ii. Role of the alloying element on the wetting behaviour (on flat sample) iii. Interfaces characterization (microstructural and chemical) iv. Metallographic properties of the MMC v. Mechanical properties 6. Cu/C, Cu(alloy)/C; Cu/NFC, Cu/NTC; Cu/diamond (C: carbon long fibre, carbon short fibre and carbon particles) i. Solid route ii. Numerical simulation of the thermal properties iii. Optimisation of the interfacial zone (to increase the chemical reaction between C and Cu: carbide formation) iv. Chemical coating of Cu on CNF and CNT with “electroless” and new salt decomposition process v. Metallographic properties of the MMC vi. Thermal properties vii. Correlation between the alloying elements and the final thermal properties
