The present work reviews the work done in the field of synthesis of Aluminium-Carbon Nano Tube nanocomposite using few dominant techniques. The homogeneous dispersion of Carbon Nano Tubes (CNTs) on Aluminium (Al) matrix is a major issue in improving the mechanical properties of Al-CNT nanocomposite. The fact that the importance of CNT dispersion depends on mixing technique used is highlighted. The effect of uniform dispersion on different mechanical properties of Al-CNT nanocomposite is also summarized. The effect of volume percentage of CNTs used in a composite is also discussed.
