Molecular mechanics applied to single-walled carbon nanotubes

Molecular mechanics applied to single-walled carbon nanotubes

Single-walled carbon nanotubes, with stiffness of 1.0 TPa and strength of 60 GPa, are a natural choice for high strength materials. A problem, however, arises when experimental data are compiled. The large variability of experimental data leads to the development of numerical models denominated mole...
