A novel approach was successfully developed to fabricate bulk carbon nanotube-reinforced Mg matrix composites with uniform carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The approach consists of pre-dispersion and ultrasonic vibration. Homogeneous and single CNTs on flake Zn powder can be achieved simply by slurry blendi...
