The interest in metallic glass (MG) is motivated owing to an amorphous alloy were dissolved have proven elusive because non-crystalline materials lack the structural order that allows precipitators of surface and sub-surface transformation. In this study, Zr-based MG powders were dissolved in 1-Butyl-3 methyl imidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([BMIM][BF4])-ionic liquid (IL). Prepared MG-IL nanocomposite powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and FTIR spectroscopy. The surface morphology of the samples were determined by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The particle size distribution of nanoparticles found in pure ILs and MG-ILs were detected by dynamic light scattering (DLS). Therefore, the mechanically alloyed microstructures of Zr60Cu25Al10Ni5 –based MG powders were dissolved in BMIM[BF4], shows the formation of microspheres or nanoparticles having a mean size of touching in the range of 100-500 nm. This study provides, the DC conductivity of prepared MG-IL powder increases with the addition of metallic glass in ionic liquid and reaches 85*10-4 S cm−1 at room temperature.
Key words: [BMIM][BF4], Ionic liquids, MG-IL, nanocomposite, dissolution, conductivity.
