Iron nanoparticle surface treatment of carbon nanotubes to increase fatigue strength of steel composites

A simple, scalable, and reproducible method is used to decorate carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with metal nanoparticles (NPs). Decorating CNTs with iron NPs prior to forming steel-based metal matrix composites (MMCs) improves the high-cycle fatigue (HCF) strength of the MMC by more than 350% vs. plain 1084...
