Utilizing the reinforcing effects CNTs might bring requires techniques resulting in separated and uniformly dispersed CNTs in the matrix resin system. Mechanical dispersion methods are available in various types. A review of the literature of these dispersion techniques and the accompanying dispersion mechanisms is presented. Starting with a general overview of problems that occur by modifying matrix materials with CNTs and a short description of pre-dispersion and additive assisted dispersion, the main focus is on mixing and milling techniques. Furthermore, the rapid expansion of supercritical suspensions and ultrasonication are discussed. Finally, possible ways of combining dispersive methods and controlling the dispersion quality are presented.
