Experimental measurement of single-wall carbon nanotube torsional properties.
We report on the characterization of nanometer-scale torsional devices based on individual single-walled carbon nanotubes as the spring elements. The axial shear moduli of the nanotubes are obtained through modeling of device reaction to various amounts of applied electrostatic force and are compared to theoretical values.

متن کاملFormation of Single-Wall Carbon Nanotube Superbundles
Since their discovery in 1993,1,2 carbon single-wall nanotubes (SWNTs) have been of great interest because of their expected novel electronic,3 mechanical,4 and gas adsorption properties.5 Difficulties arise in measuring these various properties because the SWNTs currently available for analyses have very small bundle sizes (1020 nm) and are typically in random orientations. A vital step for th...
متن کاملViscoelasticity of single wall carbon nanotube suspensions.
We investigate the viscoelastic properties of an associating rigid rod network: aqueous suspensions of surfactant stabilized single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). The SWNT suspensions exhibit a rigidity percolation transition with an onset of solidlike elasticity at a volume fraction of 0.0026; the percolation exponent is 2.3+/-0.1. At large strain, the solidlike samples show volume fraction de...
متن کاملNovel polygonized single-wall carbon nanotube bundles.
We have synthesized novel crystalline ropes of "polygonized" single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The tubes exhibit rounded-hexagonal cross sections in contrast to the earlier observations of nearly circular tubes. To investigate the structural characteristics of the lattice of SWCNTs we have performed extensive molecular-dynamics simulations. We find several metastable structures of the latt...
