The present disclosure describes embodiments of novel methods and processes for forming CNT dispersions in media using a basket milling process. In particular, the methods and processes disperse CNT without damaging individual particles or affecting the properties of the particles. Testing of such methods demonstrates that recirculatory milling processes can be used to disperse SWNCT effectively and efficiently in a media.
