Enhanced Mechanical Properties of Prestressed Multi‐Walled Carbon Nanotubes

Abstract

The benefits of stress: Prestressed multi-walled carbon nanotubes (PMWNTs; see picture) have smaller interwall spacings than normal multi-walled nanotubes (MWNTs) and significantly enhanced mechanical properties. Molecular simulations show that a 20% reduction in interwall spacing increases the interwall shear strength by up to four orders of magnitude. The PMWNTs have a tensile strength and stiffness about 20% higher than those of normal MWNTs.
