Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene, in particular, have been the subject of many recent studies since their discovery in the early 2000s. Because of their unusual properties, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have piqued the interest of scientists across a wide range of disciplines. An Al matrix was reinfor...
