Stochastic multi-scale modeling of CNT/polymer composites
Mahmood M. Shokrieh,Roham Rafiee +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a full stochastic multi-scale modeling technique is developed to estimate mechanical properties of carbon nanotube reinforced polymers and the results of predictions are in a very good agreement with published experimental observations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterisation of commercially CVD grown multi-walled carbon nanotubes for paint applications
TL;DR: In this paper, the catalysts used in the growth of the MWNTs are identified by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and different growth mechanisms are postulated to explain the various structures present in theMWNT stock in its as-supplied form.

Evaluation of affinity of molecules for carbon nanotubes
TL;DR: The binding affinity analysis of polyaromatic hydrocarbons onto the surfaces of SWNTs is described and the obtained ranking is determined in the order of benzene < naphthalene < biphenyl < fluorene < phenanthrene < anthracene ∼ pyrene < triphenylene < p-terphenyl < tetraphene < tetracene.

Exceptionally high Young's modulus observed for individual carbon nanotubes
TL;DR: In this article, the amplitude of the intrinsic thermal vibrations of isolated carbon nanotubes was measured in the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and it was shown that they have exceptionally high Young's moduli, in the terapascal (TPa) range.
