Carbon nanotubes are cylindrical molecules that consist of rolled-up sheets of single-layer carbon atoms (graphene); they possess unique properties like high aspect ratio, mechanical strength, electrical and thermal conductivity, chemical stability, and a tip-surface area near the theoretical limit. They are one of the strongest materials known to man.

2 Ink-Based 4D Printing of Conductive Materials 2.1 Process Overview. DIW is an AM technique that utilizes a computer-controlled stage and an ink-dispensing nozzle to generate 3D geometries and designs. DIW processes can be divided into filament-based approaches and droplet-based approaches (Figure 2A).

The balls which could be of different diameter occupy 30 – 50 % of the mill volume and its size depends on the feed and mill size. The large balls tend to break down the coarse feed materials and the smaller balls help to form fine product by reducing void spaces between the balls. Ball mills grind material by impact and attrition.
