Understanding Why Carbon Nanotube Bundles Become Mechanically Weak When Twisted Molecular dynamics simulations shed light on a critical limitation of carbon nanotube yarns, paving the way for possible solutions

Titech.ac.jp 

Local rearrangements of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) upon twisting may be the cause for the poor mechanical performance of CNT bundles and yarns, report scientists from Tokyo Tech. Using molecular dynamics simulations, they revealed that defects known as disclination lines appear when a CNT bundle is twisted, which alters the tensile properties of the whole system.
