摘要
The force required to separate a carbon nanotube from a solid polymer matrix has been measured by performing reproducible nanopullout experiments using atomic force microscopy. The separation stress is found to be remarkably high, indicating that carbon nanotubes are effective at reinforcing a polymer. These results imply that the polymer matrix in close vicinity of the carbon nanotube is able to withstand stresses that would otherwise cause considerable yield in a bulk polymer specimen.
