MODIFICATION OF NANOTUBE-BASED MATERIALS BY ION BEAM DEPOSITION: COMPUTATIONAL STUDIES

摘要

Carbon nanotubes attract much attention because of their unusual structures and properties. And, like graphite, they are fairly unreactive chemically. In order to capitalize on their extraordinary properties on a macroscopic scale, the chemical modification of nanotubes is worth exploration. In this paper, the functionalization of single-walled nanotube bundles, carbon nanotube/polymer composites and carbon nanopeapods is explored using polyatomicion beam deposition in classical molecular dynamics simulations.
