AbstractAttaching chemical functional groups to single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) has been achieved by chemical methods. Oxidized purified nanotubes have been treated by thionyl chloride in order to convert carboxyl groups into acylchloride groups. We observe by XPS and EDX that not only chlorine atoms but sulphur containing functional groups are covalently bound to the nanotubes. This chemical functionalization also causes significant changes in the electrical and mechanical properties of the nanotubes. The electrical conductivity measured on mats (bucky paper) increases from 500 S/cm in pristine tubes to 2500 S/cm in modified tubes. Similarly, the Young's modulus of bucky paper increases by about 100 %.

Single Wall Carbon

Carbon nanotubes have been identified as the promising agents in reinforcing composite materials to achieve desired mechanical properties. In this study, three different types of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are subjected to molecular dynamics simulation to investigate their mechanical properties taking different interatomic potential functions. With unmodified Brenner's 2nd generation potential, a brittle fracture for all the SWCNTs is observed. But in tight-binding approach, the chiral and armchair SWCNTs exhibit somewhat extended plastic flow region before failure. With unmodified Brenner's potential, high tensile strength and ductility are observed for the armchair and chiral tubes. Y value of these two tubes is less than 1 TPa but more than 1 TPa for a zigzag tube. Much decrease of tensile strength and strain are noticed when we apply smoothing of the Brenner's potential at cut-off region. Failure stresses are dropped to much lower values for the three tubes. Ductility of the armchair and chiral tubes are also affected considerably by the choice of potential. Applying smoothing in the cut-off region to conserve the energy, the results show better agreement with the experimental findings.
