The use of flake powder metallurgy to produce carbon nanotube (CNT)/aluminum composites with a homogenous CNT distribution (2012, background): “critical steps in PM is to get CNTs uniformly dispersed in the starting Al powders, which has a significant effect on the final distribution of CNTs in the CNT/Al composites [15].”
Spark plasma sintered multi-wall carbon nanotube reinforced aluminum matrix composites (2010, background): “However, only a few successful studies on CNT–reinforced Al matrix composites have been reported [2–6,8,9], which are mainly attributed to the processing difficulties and lack of understanding of the strengthening mechanisms.”
Distribution and stability of carbon nanotubes during multi-pass friction stir processing of carbon nanotube/aluminum composites (2012, background): “However it should be noted that the surface of the CNT structure does not react with Al even at high temperatures [11] and carbide formation preferentially occurs at defect sites and along the residual amorphous carbon layers on the surface of CNTs [12,13].”
