Metal matrix composites comprising aluminum matrix and multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as reinforcements are fabricated using cold uniaxial compaction followed by sintering and cold extrusion as secondary processes. The MWCNTs are pretreated with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) for improved adhesi...
