The multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were processed by wet ball milling for 0.5 and 1.0 h at a rotational speed 800/1 000 r/min. The structural morphology, fracture mechanism and defects of MWCNTs were analyzed by laser particle analyzer, XRD, TEM, TG-DTA and Raman spectrum. The results showed that, after wet ball milled for 0.5 and 1.0 h. The MWCNTs are quickly cut off, and the fracture of MWCNTs shape like a U letter, and that main structure were not damaged. At the same time, amorphous carbon content increased by 2.2% and 1.8% respectively. Fracture mechanism of wet ball milling of MWCNTs: MWCNTs obtained axial compression buckling deformation due to grinding balls of high-speed collision produced huge pressure on the surface, performance to the forced area of MWCNTs appeared as sunken, bend, kink and breaking. The root reason in microstructure is that when the additional pressure on carbon nanotubes exceeds the limit point, the bond angle of C—C reduced to release energy and keep the balance of the whole system.
