TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed relevant literature which deals with various manifestations of energy absorption of composites from the nano to the macro-scale, with emphasis on the nano-scale.

TL;DR: Direct shear testing of epoxy thin films containing dense packing of multiwalled carbon nanotube fillers and report strong viscoelastic behaviour with up to 1,400% increase in loss factor (damping ratio) of the baseline epoxy, concluding that damping is related to frictional energy dissipation during interfacial sliding at the large, spatially distributed, nanotubes–nanotube interfaces.

TL;DR: Under compressive loadings, the nanotube composites can generate more than an order of magnitude improvement in the longitudinal modulus ( up to 3,300%) as well as damping capability (up to 2,100%).

TL;DR: It is shown that under repeated high compressive strains, long, vertically aligned multiwalled nanotubes exhibit viscoelastic behaviour similar to that observed in soft-tissue membranes, and that their good electrical conductivity could lead to their use as compliant electrical contacts in a variety of applications.

TL;DR: This work demonstrates the implementation of a laminated ultrathin CVD graphene film as a stretchable and transparent electrode for supercapacitors and demonstrates excellent frequency capability with small time constants under stretching.
