Effect of ball milling parameters on the synthesization of carbon nanotube aluminium nano composite

Recently, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are attracting much interest as fibrous materials for reinforcing aluminium matrix composites due to unique properties such as high strength, elastic modulus, flexibility and high aspect ratios. However, the quality of the dispersion is the major concern factor w...
