Van der Waals interactions of parallel and concentric nanotubes [PDF]
For sparse materials like graphitic systems and carbon nanotubes the standard density functional theory (DFT) faces significant problems because it cannot accurately describe the van der Waals interactions that are essential to the carbon-nanostructure ...

Paraconductivity in carbon nanotubes [PDF]
We report the calculation of paraconductivity in carbon nanotubes above the superconducting transition temperature. The complex behavior of paraconductivity depending upon the tube radius, temperature and magnetic field strength is analyzed. The results are qualitatively compared with recent experimental observations in carbon nanotubes of an inherent ...

Electromechanical actuators based on sheets of single-walled carbon nanotubes were shown to generate higher stresses than natural muscle and higher strains than high-modulus ferroelectrics. Like natural muscles, the macroscopic actuators are assemblies of billions of individual nanoscale actuators.

Stress distribution of carbon nanotube reinforced polymer matrix composites under tensile stress
A cylindrical representative volume element model of polymer nano-composites reinforced by carbon nanotubes under a fixed tension stress was developed. The stress distribution in each layer of carbon nanotubes was numerically studied through developing a
