To realize the incredible structural applications potential of carbon nanotubes, it is important to characterize their material response. Molecular simulations offer advantages over physical testing due to their cost effectiveness, versatility and precision. Two continuum models for single wall nanotubes (SWNT) were previously developed based on the results from molecular simulations using two ...

Chirality-controlled synthesis of single-wall carbon nanotubes with predefined chiralities has been an important but elusive goal for almost two decades. Here we demonstrate a general strategy for producing carbon nanotubes with predefined chiralities by using purified single-chirality nanotubes as seeds for subsequent metal catalyst free growth, resembling vapour-phase epitaxy commonly used fo...

Abstract The key objective of the present research is to examine hybrid magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) nanofluid (Carbon-nanotubes and ferrous oxide–water) CNT – Fe 3 O 4 / H 2 flow into a horizontal parallel channel with thermal radiation through squeezing dilating porous walls. parting motion triggered by walls channel. fluid time-dependent laminar. asymmetric upper lower are distinct in temperat...

Interfacial thermal transport between offset parallel (10,10) single-wall carbon nanotubes is investigated by molecular dynamics simulation and analytical thermal modeling as a function of nanotube spacing, overlap, and length. A four order of magnitude reduction in interfacial thermal resistance is found as the nanotubes are brought into intimate contact. A reduction is also found for longer n...
