An In Situ Raman Spectroscopy Study of Load Transfer for Carbon Nanotube Film

Abstract:

The load transfer of CNT films under tensile loading at different scales was studied by using in situ Raman spectroscopy. The single-point and plane mapping Raman spectrum data was collected during the film tension to monitor the load transfer process of CNTs and CNT bundle network, respectively. The reason why the CNT film had well strength and ductility and low Young's modulus was revealed.
