Carbon nanotubes, a kind of high order fullerenes, offers remarkable electronic as well as mechanical properties, e.g., an extremely high Young’s modulus of TPa order has been reported. This suggests the suitability of carbon nanotubes as novel fiber materials for metal matrix composites. The authors demonstrate that Ti/ nanotube composites show a large increase in hardness and Young’s modulus as compared to pure Ti. This makes the composite an attractive advanced material for future applications.
