Abstract
This paper provides a general idea of carbon nanotube reinforced composites and its potential applications in
various fields. It is evident from the history that composite materials have overcome the inability of conventional
materials to cater the need of anticipated property requirements. The reinforcement of CNTs with the matrix material
adds value and makes it as advanced multifunctional materials. The predominant properties and exciting functional
characteristics of Nanocomposites provides a promising future in nanotechnology research. In this paper an attempt
has been made to concise processing techniques, properties and testing methods of various nanocomposites like

metal matrix CNT reinforced composites, Ceramic matrix CNT reinforced composites and Polymer CNT reinforced
composites to the maximum possible extent. This article is intended to provide a crystal clear review of
nanocomposites and a perspective including need for such materials to be produced with low cost and high quality.
