Journal ArticleDOI
Stress-induced fragmentation of multiwall carbon nanotubes in a polymer matrix
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report the observation of single nanotube fragmentation, under tensile stresses, using nanotubes-containing thin polymeric films, and they estimate that the multi-wall multi-nanotube-matrix stress transfer efficiency is at least one order of magnitude larger than in conventional fiber-based composites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Buckling and Collapse of Embedded Carbon Nanotubes
TL;DR: In this article, the deformation modes resulting from the embedding of the carbon nanotubes in a polymer matrix, and a first estimation of the strength of carbon Nanotubes under compressive stresses, were reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of Young's Modulus of Carbon Nanotubes by Micro-Raman Spectroscopy
O. Lourie,Hanoch Daniel Wagner +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used micro-Raman spectroscopy to monitor the cooling-induced compressive deformation of carbon nanotubes embedded in an epoxy matrix, and derived the Young's modulus of single and multi-wall carbon nano-tubes from a concentric cylinder model for thermal stresses.
