Buckling and Vibration of Carbon Nanotubes Embedded in Polyethylene Polymers
The discovery of buckling instability and vibration of polyethylene/ carbon nanotube matrices is reported by molecular mechanics simulations. The research is aimed to acquire a high strength design of PE-CNT matrix with proper PE/CNT ratio as well as discovering the dynamic characteristics of the PE-CNT composites. The buckling strains and the resonance frequencies are found to decrease with an increase in the number of polyethylene chains in the polyethylene/carbon nanotube matrices. Van der Waals forces are collected to explain the relation of the PE chains to the buckling strain and the resonance frequency of the composites.
