| | Fracture of Vacancy-defected Carbon Nanotubes and Their Embedded Composites | | Authors: | S.P. Xiao and W.Y. Hou | | Affilation: | The University of Iowa, US | | Pages: | 202 - 205 | | Keywords: | nanotube, composite, fracture, vacancy defects | | Abstract: | In this paper, we investigate the effects of vacancy defects on the fracture of carbon nanotubes and carbon nanotube/aluminum composites. Our studies show that even a one-atom vacancy defect can dramatically reduce the failure stresses and strains of carbon nanotubes. Consequently, nanocomposites in which vacancy-defected nanotubes are embedded exhibit different characteristics than those in which pristine nanotubes are embedded. We also investigate the effects of randomly distributed vacancy defects on the fracture of nanotubes. | | ISBN: | 1-4200-6376-6 |
