Composite materials have become popular because of high mechanical properties and lightweight. Aluminum/carbon nanotube is one of the most important metal composite. In this research, mechanical properties of aluminum/carbon nanotube composite were obtained using molecular dynamics simulation. Then, effect of temperature on stress–strain curve of composite was studied. The results showed by increasing temperature, the Young’s modulus of composite was decreased. More specifically increasing the temperature from 150 K to 620 K, decrease the Young’s modulus to 11.7%. The ultimate stress of composite also decreased by increasing the temperature. A continuum model of composite was presented using finite element method. The results showed the role of carbon nanotube on strengthening of composite.

ABSTRACTElectrophoretic deposition enables the rapid deposition of single wall carbon nanotube films at room temperature. An accurate, reproducible film thickness can be obtained by controlling electric field strength, suspension concentration, and time. To investigate the electrical and mechanical properties of such films, we recorded electric resistance and Young’s modulus using I-V characterization and a nanoindenter, respectively. The measured resistivity of the films varied from 2.14 × 10-3 to 7.66 × 10-3 Ω·cm, and the Young’s modulus was 4.72 to 5.67 GPa, independent of film thickness from 77 to 134 nm. These results indicated that the mechanical and electrical properties of film are comparable with previously reported methods such as layer by layer deposition even though we achieved much higher deposition rates. We also measured the film mass density which is usually unrecorded even though it is an important parameter for MEMS/NEMS device actuation. The film density was found with conventional thickness measurement and Rutherford backscattering spectrometry. It varied from 0.12 to 0.54 g/cm3 as the film thickness increased. This method could be extended to applications of CNT films for flexible electronics or high frequency RF MEMS devices.

Phase Inversion Technique

Carbon nanotube has been explored as a nanofiller in high performance polymeric membrane for gas separation. In this regard, nanocomposite membrane of polycarbonate (PC), poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVFHFP), and multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) was fabricated via phase inversion technique. Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) was employed for the compatibilization of the blend system. Two series of PC/PVFHFP/PEG were developed using purified P-MWCNT and acid functional A-MWCNT nanofiller. Scanning and transmission electron micrographs have shown fine nanotube dispersion and wetting by matrix, compared with the purified system. Tensile strength and Young’s modulus of PC/PVFHFP/PEG/MWCNT-A 1–5 were found to be in the range of 63.6–72.5 MPa and 110.6–122.1 MPa, respectively. The nanocomposite revealed 51% increase in Young’s modulus and 28% increase in tensile stress relative to the pristine blend. The A-MWCNT was also effective in enhancing the permselectivity αCO2/N2 (31.2–39.9) of nanocomposite membrane relative to the blend membrane (21.6). The permeability PCO2 of blend was 125.6 barrer; however, the functional series had enhanced PCO2 values ranging from 142.8 to 186.6 barrer. Moreover, A-MWCNT loading improved the gas diffusivity of PC/PVFHFP/PEG/MWCNT-A 1–5; however, filler content did not significantly influence the CO2 and N2 solubility.

ABSTRACTSynthesis, mechanical testing, and modeling have been performed for a carbon nanotube material in which the nanotubes are functionalized with variable stiffness tethers (VST) capable of cross-linking the nanotubes. Tests using nanoindentation indicated a six-fold enhancement in the storage modulus when comparing the base material (the cross-linking agent with no nanotubes) to the composite (functionalized nanotube material) that contained 5.3 wt% of nanotubes. To understand how crosslinking the nanotubes may further alter the stiffness, a model of the system was constructed using nanotubes crosslinked with the VST. The model predicted that for a composite with 5 wt% nanotubes at random orientations, crosslinked with the VST, the bulk Young's modulus was reduced to 30% that of the non-crosslinked equivalent.

The main objective of this study is to create a rigorous computer model of carbon nanotube composites to predict their mechanical properties before they are manufactured and to reduce the number of physical tests. A detailed comparison between experimental and computational results of a cement-based composite is made to match data and find the most significant parameters. It is also shown how the properties of the nanotubes (Young’s modulus, aspect ratio, quantity, directionality, clustering) and the cement (Young’s modulus) affect the composite properties. This paper tries to focus on the problem of modeling carbon nanotube composites computationally, and further study proposals are given.
