To provide a carbon nanotube composite manufactured by compounding a carbon nanotube with a metal without heating, and to provide a method for manufacturing the same.
Disclosed is a carbon nanotube composite manufactured by integrally binding a powder mixture mixed with a metallic powder and a carbon nanotube to each other and a method for manufacturing the same. The powder mixture is monoaxially pressed using first and second molds, and a strain stress is allowed to act on the powder mixture being pressed in a nonheated state, that is, without externally applying heat to the powder mixture. The strain stress is a stress by a rotating strain which is applied by rotating at least either the first mold or the second mold around a pressing axial center to the other.
