• • h-BN/Mg composites exhibit interface bonding features that directly influence mechanical properties; dry sliding wear behavior of Mg/BN nanocomposites shows measurable improvements in wear resistance, critical for lightweight automotive and aerospace components where friction and mass reduction are paramount.
• • Field-sintered boron nitride nanotube-magnesium alloy composites demonstrate direct observation of strengthening behavior, with interface engineering yielding enhanced load transfer, essential for structural applications requiring high specific strength.
• • Cu/h-BN nanocomposites synthesized via powder metallurgy achieve physico-mechanical and tribological property enhancements, with h-BN acting as a solid lubricant; this is industrially relevant for electrical contacts and bearings where friction and wear reduce service life.
• • Boron nitride nanosheet/copper nanocomposites via molecular-level mixing show enhanced mechanical properties, and TiN transition interface in BNNS/Cu composites cooperatively enhances mechanical and tribological properties, addressing the bottleneck of weak interfacial bonding in metal matrix composites.
