“…Similar effects occur for both MWCNTs 74 and SWCNTs 75 . The resulting electrostatic repulsion among the CNTs leads to a remarkable increase in the stability of the colloidal suspension 76 . In addition, functional groups on CNT surfaces can be useful sites for further chemical modification.…”

Due to the remarkable physical and mechanical properties of individual, perfect carbon nanotubes (CNTs), they are considered to be one of the most promising new reinforcements for structural composites. Their impressive electrical and thermal properties also suggest opportunities for multifunctional applications. In the context of inorganic matrix composites, researchers have particularly focussed on CNTs as toughening elements to overcome the intrinsic brittleness of the ceramic or glass material. Although there are now a number of studies published in the literature, these inorganic systems have received much less attention than CNT/polymer matrix composites. This paper reviews the current status of the research and development of CNT-loaded ceramic matrix composite materials. It includes a summary of the key issues related to the optimisation of CNT-based composites, with particular reference to brittle matrices and provides an overview of the processing techniques developed to 2 optimise dispersion quality, interfaces and density. The properties of the various composite systems are discussed, with an emphasis on toughness; a comprehensive comparative summary is provided, together with a discussion of the possible toughening mechanism that may operate. Lastly, a range of potential applications are discussed, concluding with a discussion of the scope for future developments in the field.3

“…The movement of electrons occurs at the same time through the current source or the external load. It is well known that the shape of the loop of the capacitor should be rectangular provided that there are no internal, interfacial and contact resistances [27]. Crystalline structure enhances the electron transport, but reduces the ion diffusion, widely known observation.…”

“…These acidic groups electrostatically stabilise the CNTs in water, or other polar liquids, by developing a negative surface charge, leading to a significant increase in the stability of the suspension, making it suitable for EPD. 33 As reviewed elsewhere, 15 several types of solvents have been used to prepare CNT suspensions for EPD, including distilled water, acetone and ethanol mixtures and other organic solvents such as isopropyl alcohol, n-pentanol, ethyl alcohol, tetrahydrofuran (THF) and dimethlyformamide (DMF). A selection of organic media developed for dispersion of multiwalled and single-walled CNTs for EPD, with potential application also for dispersion of ceramic nanoparticles, is presented in Table 1.…”
