Controlling Movement at Nanoscale: Curvature Driven Mechanotaxis
Leonardo D. Machado, Rafael A. Bizao, Nicola M. Pugno +1
Locating and manipulating nano-sized objects to drive motion is a time and effort consuming task. Recent advances show that it is possible to generate motion without direct interve…
On the Elastic Properties of Single-Walled Phagraphene Nanotubes
M. L. Pereira Junior, J. M. De Sousa, W. H. S. Brandão +4
Phagraphene (PhaG) is a quasi-planar 2D structure composed of ring sequence. We have investigated the structural and mechanical properties of phagraphene nanotubes (PhaNTs)…
Elastic Properties of Graphyne-based Nanotubes
J. M. De Sousa, R. A. Bizao, V. P. Sousa Filho +6
Graphyne nanotubes (GNTs) are nanostructures obtained from rolled up graphyne sheets, in the same way carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are obtained from graphene ones. Graphynes are 2D carb…
Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Ballistic Penetration of Pentagraphene Sheets
David L. Azevedo, Rafael A. Bizao, Douglas S. Galvao
The superior mechanical properties and low density of carbon nanostructures make them promising ballistic protection materials, stimulating investigations on their high-strain-rate…
Mechanical Properties and Fracture Patterns of Graphene (Graphitic) Nanowiggles
Rafael A. Bizao, Tiago Botari, Eric Perim +2
Graphene nanowiggles (GNW) are graphene-based nanostructures obtained by making alternated regular cuts in pristine graphene nanoribbons. GNW were recently synthesized and it was d…
Scale Effects on the Ballistic Penetration of Graphene Sheets
Rafael A. Bizao, Leonardo D. Machado, Jose M. de Sousa +2
Carbon nanostructures are promising ballistic protection materials, due to their low density and excellent mechanical properties. Recent experimental and computational investigatio…
