Abstract
⺠Fullerene mix (C60 + C70 + soot) is effective to manufacture nanostructured Al/Al4C3. ⺠Carbon in the fullerene mix is more reactive with Al that that present in graphite. ⺠A complete transformation of carbon into Al4C3 is observed in the Al/fullerene. ⺠Milling and sintering conditions preserve the nanostructured nature of the composites. ⺠Hardness improvement: 375% Al/graphite and 582% for Al/fullerene composites.
