Reinforcement mechanisms in MWCNT-filled polycarbonate (2006, background): “Consistent with the results presented here, others have also suggested that changes in the non-bulk polymer behavior may provide an additional reinforcement mechanism in these systems; for example, nanopullout work has suggested that the interphase can withstand stresses that would otherwise cause c”

Surface functionalities of multi-wall carbon nanotubes after UV/Ozone and TETA treatments (2006, background): “Because of the extreme difficulties in preparing and testing of specimens prepared from the tiny CNTs, the measured interfacial bond strengths did not show any consensus and varied by more than a magnitude between about 35 MPa and 500 MPa [10–13], depending on the matrix material and testing”
Energy absorption capability of nanocomposites: A review (2009, methodology): “Barber et al. [69] measured the Weibull shape and scale parameters of the tensile strength distribution of MWCNTs grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and found wide variability of strength.”
