Abstract

A novel polyether binder-assisting (PBA) method was used to disperse CNTs into aluminum (Al) matrix, and a 0.5 wt.% CNTs reinforced Al composite was processed by powder metallurgy (PM) technique. The CNTs were almost not damaged during PBA-mixing. The tensile strength of the composite reached 195 MPa, with minor decreased ductility by comparison with the pure Al.
