Untreated and acid-treated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) were used to fabricate MWNT/ epoxy composite samples by sonication technique. The effect of MWNT addition and their surface modification on the mechanical properties were investigated. Modified Halpin-Tasi equation was used to evaluate

Molecular dynamics with realistic many-body atomic potentials was used to study the growth of carbon nanotubes. Analysis of the bond switching and ring migration processes has led to an identification of tube growth mechanisms. Wide tubes, initially open, were found to grow straight maintaining an a
## Abstract Nanocomposites based on atactic polypropylene (aPP) and multiwall carbon nanotubes were prepared by melt blending at 80Β°C with a Barabender mixer. The morphology, thermal stability, and dynamic mechanical properties of the obtained composites were studied subsequently. SEM observations
The fabrication of carbon nanotube/polyvinyl chloride (PVC) composites and a study of their thermal and mechanical properties are reported. Phosphorylated multiwalled carbon nanotube (p-MWCNT) and pristine MWCNT were used. The MWCNT were embedded in the polymer matrix through melt mixing. The phosph
## Abstract The thermal conductivity of a (5, 5) carbon nanotube at room temperature is studied by nonβequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. The thermal conductivity increases from 30 W/(mΒ·K) to 1000 W/(mΒ·K) as the tube length increases from 6 nm to 4 Β΅m. It is proportional to the tube length
