A new micromechanical model of CNT-metal nanocomposites with random clustered distribution of CNTs

Uniform dispersion of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is a key issue for utilization of their reinforcement potential in CNT-reinforced metal matrix nanocomposites (MMNCs). It was reported that CNT clusters often exist in MMNCs prepared by various techniques, which reduces the load transfer efficiency betw...
