Interfacial Mechanical Behaviors in Carbon Nanotube Assemblies
arXiv:1705.08697 · doi:10.5772/67764
Abstract
Interface widely exists in carbon nanotube (CNT) assembly materials, taking place at different length scales. It determines severely the mechanical properties of these assembly materials. Here I assess the mechanical properties of individual CNTs and CNT bundles, the inter-layer or inter-shell mechanics in multi-walled CNTs, the shear properties between adjacent CNTs, and the assembly-dependent mechanical and multifunctional properties of macroscopic CNT fibers and films.
