Abstract:The mechanical properties of braided carbon nanotube yarns (CNTYs) on an elastomeric core to produce stretchable conductive materials were modeled and studied under tension. The elastomeric core served as the stretchable spring and the CNTYs braiding, with shape changing capabilities, as the conductive shell. The model predicts the stress-strain behavior of the composite as a function of the initial braiding angle and the number of pitches. The innovative aspect was included in the model related to the frictio… Show more
