Examination of Mechanical Stretching to Increase Alignment in Carbon Nanotube Composites

Individual carbon nanotubes have been theoretically and experimentally proven to be the strongest and stiffest materials discovered to date with tensile strengths ranging from 1-5 TPa and elastic modulus values as high as 150 GPa. In this work, the recent development of continuous sheets of CNTs, pr...
