Arrays of Robust Carbon Nanotube-Based NEMS: A Combined Experimental/Computational Investigation

Facile production of nanocomposites of carbon nanotubes and polycaprolactone with high aspect ratios with potential applications in drug delivery

“…5 ). Literature values for the elastic modulus of PCL and CNT are 600 MPa 62 and 1 TPa 63 respectively. AFM nanomechanical analysis measures the properties associated with 2 nm depth surface of material, 59 therefore a modulus for approximately 600 MPa was expected in the event of successful PCL-CNT nanocomposites.…”
