“…The deposition process can be further refined by locally treating the substrate to place MWCNTs in target locations. Previous targeting attempts via surface functionalization have been made using self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) with polar functional groups [10][11][12]. The success of these techniques is dependent upon the quality of the SAM, however, with degraded performance occurring when more (or less) than a monolayer is deposited [15].…”

“…The technique was successfully applied to the mechanical testing of a rope of single walled CNTs suspended between two anchors. 112 Another early example is by Burghard et al 113 Multiwalled CNTs treated with sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) are attached to gold electrodes coated with a selfassembled layer of long chain alkanethiol molecules. The surrounding SiO 2 surface is observed to remain intact.…”

The current state of solutions provided for the issue of integration between micro-and nanoscales is reviewed for the specific case of nanowires and nanotubes. Such structures serve as field emitters, transistors or laser sources, digits for manipulation and handling, as sensing elements or as agents for the modification of surface properties such as the adhesive strength. However, it is noteworthy that the majority of reported device work remains confined to component level prototype development without the prospect of full scale system integration due to the lack of batch compatible fabrication and processing techniques. On the one hand, nanostructures made by self-assembly do not possess a high level of control on their orientation and numbers, and hence, their interfacing and integration with a microsystem pose difficulties. On the other hand, top-down approaches such as manipulation, serial deposition and high resolution lithographic techniques do not satisfy the needs of large scale fabrication due to their expensive and/or nonparallel working principles. These techniques along with hybrid approaches taking advantage of the structural control of self-assembly and geometric control of high resolution lithography will be discussed and major applications will be highlighted to shed light on the capabilities and limitations associated with each process.

“…9,10 The mechanical properties of CNTs under strain loading have been widely reported by experiments. To measure the mechanical properties of CNTs, an atomic force microscope 5,[11][12][13] ͑AFM͒ or transmission electron microscope [14][15][16] tip is generally used to apply strain loading to CNTs. Yu et al 12 measured the mechanical response, the average breaking strength, and the average Young's modulus of 15 SWCNTs with a diameter of 20-41 nm under tensile load by AFM.…”

Molecular dynamics is employed to investigate the collective motion of carbon atoms of a (10,10) single walled carbon nanotube under tensile loading. The “slip vector” parameter is used to study the collective motion of a group of atoms and deformation behavior in three different directions (axial, tangential, and radial directions). According to the variations in the slip vectors in different directions and the stress-strain profile, the axial tensile process can be divided into three stages. In tensile loading process, two local deformation types (symmetrical and nonsymmetrical deformations) are observed before reaching the maximum stress. The variations in the slip vector values of each atom indicate a symmetrical rupture which is oriented 45° to the axis of the nanotube after reaching the maximum stress. By tensile loading, chainlike structures can be formed before the breaking of the nanotube.
