Microstructure and mechanical properties of zinc matrix composites reinforced with copper coated multiwall carbon nanotubes

Zinc alloy has been considered as a promising candidate for orthopedic implants due to its suitable degradation rate and good biocompatibility. However, its mechanical properties still have to be optimized. Metal matrix composites (MMC) are an effective way to improve the mechanical properties of zi...
