Alignment of carbon nanotubes in a polymer matrix by mechanical stretching
TL;DR: In this paper, a method to fabricate polymer-based composites with aligned carbon nanotubes is described, and a procedure to determine the nanotube orientation and the degree of alignment is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Study on poly(methyl methacrylate)/carbon nanotube composites
TL;DR: In this article, the experimental results show that carbon nanotubes (CNTs) can be initiated by AIBN to open their π-bonds, which imply that CNTs may participate in PMMA polymerization and form a strong combining interface between the CNT and the PMMA matrix.

Fibers of aligned single-walled carbon nanotubes: Polarized Raman spectroscopy
Hendrikus Hubertus Petrus Gommans,J. W. Alldredge,H. Tashiro,J. Park,J. Magnuson,Andrew G. Rinzler +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured polarization-dependent Raman spectra on oriented carbon nanotubes and found that all the Raman line intensities were observed to decrease in nearly equal amounts for the 647.1 nm laser excitation polarized perpendicular to the fiber axis versus that polarized parallel to the fibre axis.
