Load transfer in carbon nanotube epoxy composites
TL;DR: In this paper, the mechanical behavior of multi-walled carbon nanotube/epoxy composites was studied in both tension and compression, and it was found that the compression modulus is higher than the tensile modulus, indicating that load transfer to the nanotubes in the composite is much higher in compression.

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.
