This paper summarises the research work performed in the field of carbon nanotubes (CNT) metal/ceramic matrix composites. Research has been carried out to use CNT as reinforcement material for composites, however the most research has been focussed in polymer matrix based composites, whereas metal matrix based composites have received the least attention. The CNT-metal/ceramic based composites can be used in structural applications for their significant mechanical, thermal and electrical properties. This review discusses fabrication and properties of CNT reinforced metal/ceramic matrix based composites with a focus on composites fabricated by powder metallurgy and thermal spraying techniques. In the end, the effect of different reinforcements on mechanical properties of the composites has been summarised.
