Piezoresistivity of resin-impregnated carbon nanotube film at high temperatures.

TL;DR: The results manifest that impregnation with resin leads to a much larger gauge factor than pristine film, indicating that a resin matrix with higher modulus and strong interactions between CNTs/CNT bundles and the resin matrix are beneficial for enhancing the piezoresistive effect.

Strength and breaking mechanism of multiwalled carbon nanotubes under tensile load

TL;DR: The tensile strengths of individual multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were measured with a "nanostressing stage" located within a scanning electron microscope and a variety of structures were revealed, such as a nanotube ribbon, a wave pattern, and partial radial collapse.
