Abstract
For the untreated CNTs, it seems that the wear resistance improves with increasing effort put into dispersion: sonication has a positive effect, sonication plus dual asymmetric centrifuge proves even better. A pre-treatment with HNO3 or a silane-coupling agent can improve the wear resistance of the composite. However, the pre-treated CNTs should be dispersed without the use of ultrasound, which seems to damage the pre-treated CNTs. The results showed that the wear resistance in general increases with improved dispersion and integrity of the CNTs.
