abstract = "Carbon nanotubes have received considerable attention because of their excellent electrical and mechanical properties. In this study, carbon nanotube - copper nanocomposites with homogeneously dispersed nanotubes within the copper matrix have been fabricated by two different methods; a mechanical mixing process and a molecular-level mixing process, which consists of mixing copper ions with functionalized nanotubes in a solvent. Small punch creep tests showed significantly improved mechanical properties of the nanocomposites. The electrical resistance of the nanocomposites also decreased.",
