Graphene/CNT Nanocomposites: Processing, Properties, and Applications

Carbon nanotube (CNT) and graphene-reinforced nanocomposites have become exceptional multifunctional materials because of their exceptional mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties. Recent developments in synthesis methods, dispersion strategies, and interfacial engineering have effectively overcome agglomeration-related limitations by significantly improving filler distribution, matrix compatibility, and load-transfer efficiency. These nanocomposites have better wear durability, corrosion resistance, and surface properties like super-hydrophobicity. A comparative analysis of polymer, metal, and ceramic matrices finds benefits for applications in biomedical, construction, energy, defense, and…
