Abstract
The surfactant and acid treatment have been used to modify the CNTs surface and then incorporated the functionalized CNTs into various ceramic matrices. The preparation of ceramic nanoparticle-immobilized CNTs not only improves the homogeneous distribution of CNTs in the ceramic matrices, but also makes the combination between two phases more tight. Various measurements including mechanical, electrical, and electrochemical properties clearly reveal that the preparation of true CNT-based composite materials possess obvious enhanced properties. The preparation of carbon nanotube-incorporated structural and functional ceramics is very promising for the development of new-style ceramic composite, electric devices, electrochemical capacitors, and so on.
