Investigating the effect of non-straight form of carbon nanotubes on nanocomposite properties
Nanowerk News) A scientist from University of Tehran used multi-scaled modeling and investigated the effect of non-straight form of carbon nanotubes on nanocomposite properties at the final material scale ("Influence of carbon nanotube waviness on the stiffness reduction of CNT/polymer composites").
The researcher assumed the non-straight form of carbon nanotube as a random parameter in his modeling, and he took into account all possible formations during the process of producing the nanocomposite object. Results of the research can be used in different industries such as aerospace, automobile manufacturing, transportation, and energy because all these industries enjoy the advantages of polymeric composites.
