Abstract
Innovative and simple physical mixing method is employed to fabricate alumina based nanocomposites containing varying CNT contents. Structural and morphological characterization of the samples has been carried out using techniques such as X–Ray diffraction (XRD), Electron dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Scanning Electron microscopic images showed that carbon nanotubes are uniformly distributed into alumina matrix.
