How researchers see this paper

The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

A review of shape memory polymer composites and blends (2009, background): “Due to the exceptional mechanical strength with high elastic modulus and high aspect ratios, CNTs and CNFs are also effective in improving the mechanical strength and shape recovery stress of SMPs [74–84].”
Synthesis, properties, and applications of low-dimensional carbon-related nanomaterials (2011, background): “Based on the conducted pulling and bending tests on individual MWNTs, the mentioned researchers have measured the tensile strength and elastic modulus of MCNTs equal to 150 GPa and 800 GPa, respectively [174].”
On the aspect ratio effect of multi-walled carbon nanotube reinforcements on the mechanical properties of cementitious nanocomposites (2012, background): “nano-scale and unique multifunction properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) make them promising reinforcements to many engineering materials [2–4].”
