Abstract:

Metal Matrix Composites (MMC) has wide range of engineering applications such as high strength, temperature, stiffness, yield strength and modulus of rigidity. Among the metals, aluminium is widely used due to its light weight. However, the electrical conductivity of aluminium is low when compared with copper. This paper deals with the development of aluminium nanocomposites based on Multi Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNT) in order to enhance the electrical resistivity of aluminium. Morphology and electrical properties of the nanocomposites has been analyzed and compared with aluminium.
