Problems solved by technology

However, the current research on carbon nanotube-reinforced metal matrix composites is facing the following problems: 1. The wettability of carbon nanotubes and metal matrix is ​​poor, and a good interface cannot be formed; 2. Carbon nanotubes are prone to agglomeration. When the amount increases, it is difficult to disperse uniformly in the metal matrix, which affects the performance of the composite material
