Modulus, Fracture Strength, and Brittle vs. Plastic Response of the Outer Shell of Arc-grown Multi-walled Carbon Nanotubes (2007, methodology): “The fracture strengths and elastic moduli of MWCNTs [19] and SWCNT ropes [20] have been obtained by tensile testing inside a SEM.”
Isolation of single-walled carbon nanotube enantiomers by density differentiation (2009, background): “Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), a class of one-dimensional nanomaterials with outstanding physical properties [1, 2], are a prime example of ABSTRACT Current methods of synthesizing single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) result in racemic mixtures that have impeded the study of left- and rig”
Finite element methods for the non‐linear mechanics of crystalline sheets and nanotubes (2004, background): “Carbon nanotubes are commonly idealized as linear elastic thin shells [1, 18–22], with material parameters (cid:1)t to available data.”
Mechanics of carbon nanotubes (2002, methodology): “The possibility of such measurement was based on the discovery that tensile-loaded MWCNTs normally broke with a sword-in-sheath breaking mechanism [29].”
Advanced Metal Matrix Nanocomposites (2019, background): “One distinguishes between single-wall and multi-wall CNTs, a major benefit of CNTs being their very high strength and high Young’s modulus; tensile strengths between 13 and 52 GPa and Young’s moduli between 320 and 1470 GPa could be measured at 1.36 nm thick single-wall CNTs [91].”
The elastic modulus of single-wall carbon nanotubes: a continuum analysis incorporating interatomic potentials (2002, background): “Experimental investigations (e.g., Yu et al., 2000b ) and atomistic studies (Yakobson et al., 1997) on fracture of SWNTs and MWNTs showed that carbon nanotubes can sustain strains larger than 10% prior to fracture.”
Load transfer mechanism in carbon nanotube ropes (2003, background): “[21] on the tensile test of the outer shells of MWCNTs, which had 11 GPa for the lower end of the tensile strength.”
