Reinforcement mechanisms in MWCNT-filled polycarbonate (2006, methodology): “This coating layer was found to be 9 nm for AR-MWCNT composite, and 15 nm for the EP-MWCNT composite; further details of this microscopic analysis have been published elsewhere [46].”
Review of the mechanical properties of carbon nanofiber/polymer composites (2011, unknown): “In polycarbonate (PC)/MWCNT composites, MWCNTs sticking out from the fracture surface of a PC/ MWCNT composite are covered with layers of PC in the range of 20–48 nm in thickness [72,73].”
A study on the tensile response and fracture in carbon nanotube-based composites using molecular mechanics (2007, background): “While significant efforts [5,8,12–15] have been made, directly characterizing the mechanics in CNT-based nanocomposites at nanometer scale is still a challenging task.”
Carbon nanostructures for advanced composites (2006, background): “Both MWCNTs and SWCNTs have been investigated, but SWCNTs are usually favoured over MWCNTs as structural reinforcements [164, 165] because only the outer shell of MWCNTs is found to contribute in tensile loading.”
The mechanisms leading to the useful electrical properties of polymer nanodielectrics (2008, background): “If, as proposed by Lewis [4], and observed directly from thermalmechanical property measurements [ 5 , 6], these internal surfaces create interfacial polymer as thick as 20 nm with properties different from the bulk polymer, then it is not surprising that unique dielectric properties are observed.”
