Mechanics of atoms and fullerenes in single-walled carbon nanotubes. II. Oscillatory behaviour (2007, background): “By pulling the core out and pushing it back into the outer shell, they report an ultra low-frictional force against the intershell sliding, which is also confirmed by Yu et al. (2000).”
Mechanics of atoms and fullerenes in single-walled carbon nanotubes. I. Acceptance and suction energies (2007, background): “Cumings & Zettl (2000), Yu et al. (2000) and Zheng & Jiang (2002) show that the sliding of the inner shell inside the outer shell of a multi-walled carbon nanotube can generate oscillatory frequencies in the gigahertz range.”
Rotational actuators based on carbon nanotubes (2003, methodology): “For large-displacement operation, we modified the MWNT support shaft in an attempt to exploit the intrinsic low-friction bearing behaviour afforded by the perfectly nested shells of MWNT”
Mechanics of carbon nanotubes (2002, methodology): “For instance, in the experimental study of “shell-sliding”[11], it was found that the shear strength between the outermost shell and the neighboring inner shell was 0.”
Determination of mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes and vertically aligned carbon nanotube forests using nanoindentation (2003, background): “The shear interaction/sti;ness between walls is observed to be very low (Cumings and Zettl, 2000; Yu et al., 2000).”
A review on the role of interface in mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties of polymer composites (2018, background): “Poly(phenyleneethynylene) (PPE)-functionalized SWCNT 7 wt% PS 10−14 6.89 [330] PC 10−13 4.81 × 102 MWCNT ~ 3 wt% Polypyrrole 2.42 × 10−2 0.38 [331] Trifluorophenyl-functionalized MWCNT ~ 1.8 wt% PVDF ~ 10−8 ~ 10−2 [332] Nitric acid-treated MWNT < 1.5 wt% Waterborne PU 2.5 × 10−12 1.2 × 10−4 [333] Ac”
Modulus, Fracture Strength, and Brittle vs. Plastic Response of the Outer Shell of Arc-grown Multi-walled Carbon Nanotubes (2007, methodology): “[41] performed sliding tests on two MWCNTs fragments that remained in contact after failure.”
Limiting Mechanisms of Mode I Interlaminar Toughening of Composites Reinforced with Aligned Carbon Nanotubes (2009, background): “The bridging traction in Equation (1) can be due to either simple CNT pullout from the matrix (interfacial shear stress – IFSS) or due to sword-insheath pullout of a MWCNT, where the outer CNT wall is broken and the inner remaining tubes pull out of the external CNT wall which remains attached to th”
Load transfer mechanism in carbon nanotube ropes (2003, methodology): “[7], the dependence of the force buildup during ‘‘stick’’ and the force at each ‘‘slip’’ event, on the contact length between the outermost shells and its immediate neighbor, was measured.”
