Mechanical Properties of Individual Nanotubes and Composites

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Physics ((LNP,volume 677))

Abstract

After introducing some basic notions on mechanical properties of solids, focusing particularly on polymers, properties of a single nanotube will be treated, before those of nanotube-containing composites. This chapter aims to show why nanotube-based composites are promising materials, how their properties could be improved, and what the main problems are currently encountered by the community. The use of nanotubes in composites, first delayed by the lack of cheap products available in large quantities, is now expanding and we can reasonably believe that new important applications will soon appear. In particular, significant progress have been made in making macroscopic fibers of aligned nanotubes.
