Fabrication of ZrO2-based nanocomposites for transuranic element-burning inert matrix fuel

ZrO2-based composites reinforced with 6.5 vol.% of carbon foam, carbon fiber, and graphite were fabricated using spark plasma sintering, and characterized using scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffractometry. Their thermal properties were also investigated. The microstructures of the reinforc...
