Fracture-induced polymeric grating structures

Lin C.C., Yang F., Chin J.W., Sung L., Lee S., National Tsing Hua Univesity, TW

Fracture-induced structure (FIS)1 is found in the polymeric thin film sandwiched between two relatively rigid flat plates by inserting a razor blade at one edge. FIS is a potential candidate to be a low-cost and [...]

Tearing Graphene

Moura M.J.B., Marder M., University of Texas at Austin, US

Experiments on free standing graphene can expose the graphene sheets to out-of-plane forces. An example of that is the back-gate voltage experimental setup. Here we show that out-of-plane forces can cause free standing graphene to [...]

Effect of Position and Orientation of Stone-Wales Defects on the Fracture Behavior of a Zigzag Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube

Talukdar K., Mitra A.K., NIT Durgapur India, IN

A (10, 0) SWCNT of length 42.59 Å and aspect ratio 10.9 is studied by Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation both in perfect condition and also with one, two, three or four SW defects introduced into [...]
