## Abstract A commercial thermoplastic polyurethane is identified for which the addition of nanotubes dramatically improves its mechanical properties. Increasing the nanotube content from 0% to 40% results in an increase in modulus, __Y__, (0.4β2.2 GPa) and stress at 3% strain, __Ο__~Ο΅ = 3%~, (10β5
The structure, morphology and surface topography of multilayer carbon nanotubes have been studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The carbon nanotube three-dimensional structure, and especially that near the cap regions, is resolved by use of these two co
