“…They have excellent mechanical properties since individual CNTs possess very high tensile strength in the range from 11 to 63 GPa, tensile Young's modulus of 1.0 to 1.3 TPa, and high ultimate fracture strain of about 10% [8][9][10][11]. Moreover, CNTs are flexible, lightweight, good heat and electricity conductors, thus being useful in a number of applications [12][13][14][15]. The most important mechanical applications of CNTs are high-strength ropes [2,16], fibers [17][18][19][20][21], polymer-and metal-matrix composites [22][23][24], solid lubricants [24,25], etc.…”
