Abstract

Achieving high strength and plasticity by means of microstructure manipulation of three-dimensional carbon material attracts researchers’ attention. This work is primarily on the influence of sp 2 content at micro and molecular level on mechanical properties by molecular dynamics simulation. Additionally, the influence of interfaces has been investigated by three multi-nanocapsule pillars assembled with the equiaxed amorphous models. The model that has the best fit between strength and plasticity we obtained is the amorphous model with 100% multi-layer nanotubes fragments, and with no interfaces. We found that the rotating and folding of fragments are the main microscopic deformation mechanisms of amorphous carbon materials with sp 2 fraction decreasing attributed to the breaking of covalent bonds, which has also been verified in experiment. The rotation of the nanocapsule and the migration of the interface contribute more in the condition of the existence of interfaces in the amorphous carbon material.
