Novel glass-ceramic composites with optical bandgap tunability were synthesised. Zinc silicate powder (ZS) was mixed with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) at various mass fractions (0, 1, 2, and 3 wt %), followed by argon sintering. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed the structural chan...
