Superplastic carbon nanotubes
Article Abstract:
Individual rigid single-walled carbon nanotubes are shown to undergo superplastic deformation at high temperatures as a result of nucleation and motion of kinks in the structure. This discovery is useful in helping to strengthen and toughen ceramics and other nanocomposites for high-temperature applications.
