Effects of nanotube waviness on the modulus of nanotube-reinforced polymers
Abstract
Recent experimental results demonstrate that substantial improvements in the mechanical behavior of polymers can be obtained using very small amounts of carbon nanotubes as a reinforcing phase. Here, a method is developed to incorporate the typically observed curvature of the embedded nanotubes into traditional micromechanical methods for determination of the effective modulus of the nanotube-reinforced polymer. Using a combined finite element and micromechanical approach, it was determined that the nanotube curvature significantly reduces the effective reinforcement when compared to straight nanotubes. This model suggests that nanotube waviness may be an additional mechanism limiting the modulus enhancement of nanotube-reinforced polymers.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
