Universal crossover of the charge carrier fluctuation mechanism in different polymer/carbon nanotubes composites
TL;DR: In this paper, the dc and electrical noise characteristics of different polymer/carbon nanotubes composites have been analyzed from 10 to 300 K. The results suggest that all these systems can be regarded as random resistive networks of tunnel junctions formed by adjacent carbon nanotsubes, and that contributions deriving from other possible mechanisms cannot be separated using dc information alone.

Modeling the pull-in instability of the CNT-based probe/actuator under the Coulomb force and the van der Waals attraction
TL;DR: In this paper, a continuum model is employed to obtain the nonlinear constitutive equation and pull-in instability of CNT-based probe/actuators, which includes the effect of electrostatic interaction and intermolecular van der Waals (vdW) forces.
