Internanotube friction

Field induced displacement of carbon nanotubes is detected within a bundle and intertube friction is calculated via cohesive energy and electromagnetic formula. Tube-tube friction is found to be 1.4 × 10 − 4 N which is five orders of magnitude greater than value obtained between adjacent layers with...

Description
Summary:Field induced displacement of carbon nanotubes is detected within a bundle and intertube friction is calculated via cohesive energy and electromagnetic formula. Tube-tube friction is found to be 1.4 × 10 − 4 N which is five orders of magnitude greater than value obtained between adjacent layers within a nanotube.
