Recent Advances in Characterization Techniques for the Interface in Carbon Nanotube-Reinforced Polymer Nanocomposites

Possible wrapping conformations obtained from a model used to illustrate potential interactions at the interface between single-walled carbon nanotubes and different polymer matrices at the 3.2 ns time step in molecular dynamics simulations. The polymers have different degrees of flexibility in the structure of their respective backbone (adapted with permission from references [188, 189]; copyright 2010, American Chemical Society).
