Carbon nanotube motors driven by carbon nanotube
The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2008We propose a new type of carbon nanotube (CNT) motor composed of a single-wall CNT (SWCNT) and a double-wall CNT (DWCNT), that are in mechanical contact. The rotational motion of our CNT motor is controllable by the translational motion of the SWCNT along the axis of the DWCNT.

Soluble Carbon Nanotubes and Nanotube-Polymer Composites
Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, 2012For these two decade, tremendous amount of researches and developments dealing with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been carried out. Most of them are focusing on finding the unique and outstanding properties of CNTs and trying to utilizing them as the advanced materials.

Mechanics of nanotubes and nanotube-based devices
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2003We discuss the mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes and devices incorporating carbon nanotubes. We demonstrate novel measurement and force application techniques using an atomic force microscope coupled to a unique computing environment that simplifies manipulations.

Deformation of carbon nanotubes in nanotube–polymer composites
Applied Physics Letters, 1999Composites of uniaxially oriented multiwalled carbon nanotubes embedded in polymer matrices were fabricated and investigated by transmission electron microscopy. In strained composite films, buckling was ubiquitously observed in bent nanotubes with large curvatures. By analyses of a large number of bent nanotubes, the onset buckling strain and fracture

Contact Transparency of Nanotube-Molecule-Nanotube Junctions
Physical Review Letters, 2007The transparency of contacts between conjugated molecules and metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes is investigated using a single-particle Green's function method which combines a Landauer approach with ab initio density functional theory. We find that the overall conjugation required for good contact transparency is broken by connecting through a ...

In this work, one-dimensional graphane nanotubes (GN, stoichiometry CH), built from 2D single-sheet graphanes, are explored theoretically. Zigzag type GN(10,0) and armchair type GN(10,10) structures with varying surface termination were investigated in detail.

The synthesis of polysiloxane nanotubes using trifunctional organosilanes is reported. Tubular nanostructures were formed via a chemical vapor deposition technique at room temperature when ethyltrichlorosilane is used or via a liquid phase method when methyltriethoxysilane is used as precursor.

AbstractA survey of novel classes of nanotubular materials based on boron is presented. Pure boron nanotubes are a consequence of a general Aufbau principle for boron clusters and solid boron phases, which postulates various novel boron materials besides the well‐known bulk phases of boron based on boron icosahedra.

A new type of carbon nanotube, based on the graphenylene motif, is investigated using density functional and tight-binding methods. Analogous to conventional graphene-based nanotubes, a two-dimensional graphenylene sheet can be "rolled" into a seamless cylinder in armchair, zigzag, or chiral orientations.

Effect of nanotube-nanotube coupling on the radial breathing mode of carbon nanotubes
Physical Review B, 2008We study the radial breathing mode (RBM) of resonant single walled carbon nanotubes within individual bundles. As strain is applied, significant debundling of the nanotubes occurs, causing an upshift in the RBM frequency. The RBM frequency is found to change irreversibly with strain, correlating more strongly with the total number of strains and ...
