Effect of carbon nanotubes on mechanical properties of aluminum matrix composites: A review

Abstract

The effects of CNT content on the mechanical properties of CNTs/AMMCs, including the tensile strength, yield strength, compressive strength, stress–strain curve behavior, elastic modulus, hardness, creep, and fatigue behavior, were revealed. CNTs/AMMCs have broad application prospects in cell therapy, tissue engineering, and other fields. Influence of the concentration of CNTs on mechanical characteristics of AMMCs.
