Hardness and fracture toughness of ZTA samples with addition of SWCNT have been investigated. The composition of Al2O3/YSZ was constant at 80:20 ratios with the amount of SWCNT varied from 0.00, 0.05, 0.10, 0.30 and 0.50 wt %. The SWCNT was soaked in 20 ml ethanol and dispersed using ultrasonic ag...
