“…The electrical conductivity of the aligned CNTs still depends on the interfacial contacts between adjacent nanotubes. Researchers have [102] with permission from Elsevier demonstrated deposition of metals or metal-based compounds over the nanotubes to decrease the contact resistance and also improve their resistance to oxidation [106]. Electroless plating of CNTs with metals like Ni, Cu, or Co can be performed under ambient conditions to produce uniform metal coatings.…”

“…Since carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were discovered, a significant amount of research has been conducted to exploit their properties [1,2]. Theoretical and experimental studies have shown that these materials possess great mechanical properties, excellent toughness, and superior physical properties [3,4,5,6]. There are many kinds of reinforcing phases of silver matrix composites, and the properties of the composites primarily depend on the properties, content, distribution, and dispersion of the reinforcing phase [7].…”

In this study, carbon nanotube-reinforced silver composites (CNT/Ag) were prepared by the powder metallurgy process via spark plasma sintering (SPS) and hot pressing sintering (HP) with composite powders through an improved electroless plating method assisted by ultrasonic spray atomization. The dispersion of CNTs was effectively improved by ultrasonic spray atomization, and uniform silver layers were deposited on the surface of CNTs by electroless deposition. The property testing results showed significant improvements of the electrical conductivity, hardness, and tensile strength in the samples prepared by SPS, as compared to their HP sintered counterparts. When the volume fraction of CNTs reached 2.5%, the tensile strength reached a maximum value of 221 MPa, which was more than twice that of the pure silver samples. The structural analysis indicated different degrees of CNT agglomeration and matrix mean grain sizes in the composites prepared by SPS and HP, which are responsible for the differences in properties.

“…There are several methods to magnetize CNTs, e.g., by encapsulating MNPs, ,, plating the nanotubes with a ferromagnetic metal − or decorating them with MNPs. − These methods typically require a lengthy and complex sequence of chemical syntheses or physical depositions. Often, expensive reagents and apparatus and special skill sets are also needed.…”

We report the serendipitous discovery of a rapid and inexpensive method to attach nanoscale magnetic chaperones to carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Nickel nanoparticles (NiNPs) become entangled in CNTs after both are dispersed in kerosene by sonication and form conjugates. An externally applied magnetic field manipulates the resulting CNTs-NiNP ink without NiNP separation, allowing us to print an embedded circuit in an elastomeric matrix and fabricate a strain gage and an oil sensor. The new method to print a circuit in a soft material using an NiNP-CNT ink is more rapid and inexpensive than the complex physical and chemical means typically used to magnetize CNTs.
