Strength of nanotubes, filaments and nanowires from sonication-induced scission
Y. Y. Huang, T. P. J. Knowles, E. M. Terentjev
We propose a simple model to describe the cavitation-induced breakage of mesoscale filaments during their sonication in solution. The model predicts a limiting length below which s…

Polysiloxane surfactants for the dispersion of carbon nanotubes in non-polar organic solvents
Y. Ji, Y. Y. Huang, A. R. Tajbakhsh +1
We develop two new amphiphilic molecules that are shown to act as efficient surfactants for carbon nanotubes in non-polar organic solvents. The active conjugated groups, which are…

Buckling of semiflexible filaments under compression
J. R. Blundell, E. M. Terentjev
A model for filament buckling at finite temperatures is presented. Starting from the classical worm-like chain model under constant compression, we use a mean-field approach for fi…
