Interfacial Mechanical Behaviors in Carbon Nanotube Assemblies
  Interface widely exists in carbon nanotube (CNT) assembly materials, taking
place at different length scales. It determines severely the mechanical
properties of these assembly materials. Here I assess the mechanical properties
of individual CNTs and CNT bundles, the inter-layer or inter-shell mechanics in
multi-walled CNTs, the shear properties between adjacent CNTs, and the
assembly-dependent mechanical and multifunctional properties of macroscopic CNT
fibers and films.
