CRC Press Carbon Nanotubes: Reinforced Metal Matrix Composites

Explore the evolution of nanotechnology through this specialized text on carbon nanotubes (CNT). Since their discovery three decades ago, CNTs have changed the landscape of material science, particularly in their application as structural reinforcements within composites. This book provides a detailed look at the development of CNT reinforced metal matrix composites (CNT-MMCs) over the last twenty years. It covers the fundamental science behind these materials while addressing the engineering challenges and innovations required for modern applications. Readers will find a comprehensive overview of the current state-of-the-art in CNT-MMC technology. As the field moves toward technological maturation and commercialization, this resource serves as an important guide for understanding how these nanomaterials function. Whether you are studying the science of composites or investigating new engineering solutions, this volume offers a deep look into one of the most active areas of nanotechnology research.
