Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted extensively interest of scientists and engineers due to their outstanding physical properties such as low density, high aspect ratio, Young’s modulus, electrical and thermal conductivities. When single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) or multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are introduced into ceramics, metals and polymers as matrices, ultra-high strength and/or multifunctional composites can be developed as expected. Recently, CNT composite refractories have been the subject of intense research activities. In this chapter, MWCNTs (hereafter named as CNTs) were introduced into refractories to improve their mechanical properties and thermal conductivity, such as Al2O3-C refractories for slide gates and carbon blocks for blast furnaces in iron and steel making industry.
