## Abstract Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) provide a suitable environment for growth and proliferation of bone cells. The elastic properties exhibited by CNTs can enhance mechanical characteristics of bone mineral phase, hydroxyapatite (HAp), precipitated on such a scaffold. In this article, a simplified

β¦ Synopsis
A microscopic cross-linking model has been applied to calculate the Young's modulus as a function of heat-treatment temperature (HTT) of petroleum coke (a graphitizable carbon) and Akabira coal (a non-graphitizable carbon). This model is an extension of a previous model for non-graphitizable carbons, where not only the coalescence of crystallites along the c axis, but also the coalescence along the a axis has been accounted for. The model explains the maximum of the modulus of both carbons at about 1200Β°C HTT, although it does not correctly predict the experimental values above 1500Β°C for the graphitizable carbon. This discrepancy is attributed to the elasticity of the individual crystallites, which were assumed as rigid bodies in the model.

A model for cross relaxation in high symmetry systems is developed. The positions of all acceptor ions and all multipole-multipole interactions may be included. The geometric factors are explicitly considered. A feature of the model is that it enables decay rates and the form of decay curves to be p
