Poly (lactic acid), a promising biodegradable polymer, is restricted by poor heat resistance,
which is determined by the crystallization. It is important to expound the relationship …

Close packed carbon nanotube bundles are materials with highly deformable elements, for
which unusual deformation mechanisms are expected. Structural evolution of the zigzag …

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) materials are highly bendable due to their atomic thickness
and, thus, can readily attain a large strain gradient hard to achieve in bulk materials. This …

Carbon nanotube (CNT) networks enable CNTs to be used as building blocks for
synthesizing novel advanced materials, thus taking full advantage of the superior properties …

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have record high tensile strength and Young's modulus, which
makes them ideal for making super strong yarns, ropes, fillers for composites, solid …

Graphene-based structures have found widespread applications in the fabrication of
superior composite materials, conductors, and sensors owing to their excellent properties …

A single-walled carbon nanotube (CNT) bundle under shock loading in lateral direction is
studied by means of the chain model with reduced number of degrees of freedom. One or …

Mechanical response of the carbon nanotube bundle to uniaxial and biaxial lateral
compression followed by unloading is modeled under plane strain conditions. The chain …

Boron nitride (BN) nanomaterials share the same atomic structures as their carbon
counterparts, with mechanical and thermal properties second only to carbon counterparts …

Fast and accurately locating the heating or force bearing points is essential to the
maintenance and diagnosis of nano/micro-electromechanical systems. Here, a knitted …
