A theoretical quantification of the possible improvement in the mechanical properties of carbon nanotube bundles by carbon ion irradiation

William Curtin

Improvement of single wall carbon nanotube (CNT) bundle mechanical properties through carbon ion irradiation is investigated using molecular dynamics. Increased inter-tube shear and toughness properties through formation of inter-tube cross-links is balanc ...
