“…They have excellent mechanical properties since individual CNTs possess very high tensile strength in the range from 11 to 63 GPa, tensile Young's modulus of 1.0 to 1.3 TPa, and high ultimate fracture strain of about 10% [8][9][10][11]. Moreover, CNTs are flexible, lightweight, good heat and electricity conductors, thus being useful in a number of applications [12][13][14][15]. The most important mechanical applications of CNTs are high-strength ropes [2,16], fibers [17][18][19][20][21], polymer-and metal-matrix composites [22][23][24], solid lubricants [24,25], etc.…”

Mechanical response of the carbon nanotube bundle to uniaxial and biaxial lateral compression followed by unloading is modeled under plane strain conditions. The chain model with a reduced number of degrees of freedom is employed with high efficiency. During loading, two critical values of strain are detected. Firstly, period doubling is observed as a result of the second order phase transition, and at higher compressive strain, the first order phase transition takes place when carbon nanotubes start to collapse. The loading-unloading stress-strain curves exhibit a hysteresis loop and, upon unloading, the structure returns to its initial form with no residual strain. This behavior of the nanotube bundle can be employed for the design of an elastic damper.

“…[ 32,33 ] Applications such as lightning strike protection, heat exchangers, and anti‐icing/deicing, to name a few, require increased through‐thickness electrical and thermal conductivity to mitigate potential damage to the composite structure. [ 8,34 ] The key difference related to nanomodified CFRP with continuous carbon fiber reinforcement as opposed to polymer nanocomposites, is that for the former the polymer matrix needs to have a very low viscosity, thus not in percolating state, to allow the nanoparticle filled matrix to infiltrate the continuous fiber fabric to enable successful consolidation of the laminate.…”

The influence of graphene oxide filler on the electrical and thermal properties of unidirectional carbon fiber/epoxy laminates: Effect of out‐of‐plane alignment of the graphene oxide nanoparticles

The influence of out‐of‐plane alignment of graphene oxide (GO) platelets used as matrix filler on the through‐thickness electrical and thermal conductivity of unidirectional carbon fiber‐reinforced polymers (CFRPs) composites has been investigated. By utilizing an external AC field, the orientation of GO flakes was altered to take advantage of the higher electrical and thermal conductivity along the graphene basal planes. Commercially available GO was dispersed in quantities up to 5 wt% into the epoxy matrix prior to vacuum infusion into dry carbon fabric to form CFRP laminates. Both GO‐modified CFRP laminates containing randomly oriented GO and aligned GO‐modified CFRP (A‐GO/CFRP) laminates were manufactured to assess the influence of the application of the electric field. Measurements of the electrical conductivity revealed markedly increased values for the A‐GO/CFRP even with low filler contents. The thermal conductivity, albeit increased in A‐GO/CFRP, only resulted in modest improvements. Mechanical tests of the interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) showed that the A‐GO/CFRP laminates exhibited significantly improved behavior and retained higher ILSS values (than the randomly aligned GO/CFRP laminates) even at high filler contents.

“…CNTs have superior mechanical properties such as tensile strength up to 63 GPa, tensile Young's modulus up to 1.3 TPa, and ultimate fracture strain up to about 10% [9][10][11][12]. In addition, they are flexible, have low weight, high thermal and electrical conductivity, which makes them very promising for a number of applications [13][14][15][16]. CNT forests are produced by means of various experimental techniques [17][18][19][20][21] and used for making super-strong ropes [7,22], fibers [23][24][25][26][27], fillers for composite materials [28][29][30], solid lubricants [30][31][32][33], etc.…”

Mechanical Response of Carbon Nanotube Bundle to Lateral Compression

et al. 2020

Structure evolution and mechanical response of the carbon nanotube (CNT) bundle under lateral biaxial compression is investigated in plane strain conditions using the chain model. In this model, tensile and bending rigidity of CTN walls, and the van der Waals interactions between them are taken into account. Initially the bundle in cross section is a triangular lattice of circular zigzag CNTs. Under increasing strain control compression, several structure transformations are observed. Firstly, the second-order phase transition leads to the crystalline structure with doubled translational cell. Then the first-order phase transition takes place with the appearance of collapsed CNTs. Further compression results in increase of the fraction of collapsed CNTs at nearly constant compressive stress and eventually all CNTs collapse. It is found that the potential energy of the CNT bundle during deformation changes mainly due to bending of CNT walls, while the contribution from the walls tension-compression and from the van der Waals energies is considerably smaller.
