The Mechanical Characterization of Multi-Wall Carbon Nanotubes and Related Interfaces in Nanocomposites

This thesis primarily documents the development and application of a novel technique, which involves the usage of a silicon micro-mechanical device that operates in conjunction with a quantitative nanoindenter within an electron microscope, for the mechanical characterization of nanomaterials and in...
