In the present study, the powder metallurgy route was used to successfully incorporate Ni-coated carbon nanotubes into SnAgCu solder, to form a nanocomposite solder. Nanoindentation tests were performed on both composite and SnAgCu solder samples to investigate their creep behaviour at room temperat...
