Abstract
A composite material is provided having functionalized carbon nanotubes and a metal matrix. It is obtained by a process including dispersing functionalized carbon nanotubes or a mixture of functionalized carbon nanotubes and of at least one metal, in an open-pore or semi-open-pore metal foam, in order to form a composite structure, and compacting the composite structure obtained in the preceding stage in order to form the composite material in the form of a solid mass.
Claims15
A composite material, wherein it has functionalized carbon nanotubes and a metal matrix, and it is obtained by a process comprising the steps of:
- i) dispersing functionalized carbon nanotubes or a mixture of functionalized carbon nanotubes and of at least one metal, in an open-pore or semi-open-pore metal foam, in order to form a composite structure;
- ii) compacting the composite structure obtained in the preceding stage i) in order to form said composite material in the form of a solid mass.
