Multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) were added to aluminum powder (99.97% pure) to produce a composite material. Three mixing techniques were examined
1 Low energy mixing: Using a Turbula mixer with two different speeds 48 and 67 rpm.
2 High energy mixing: Using a ball mill without adding any balls in the mixing jars with two speeds 300 and 400 rpm.
3 Ball milling: Using the ball mill (with steel balls) to mix higher CNT weight fraction samples for the electrical resistivity tests.
The mixtures were packed in copper cans and rolled in a rolling machine to compact the mixture; …
