Abstract
Molecular dynamics simulation is used to investigate the properties of the curved and planar monolayer graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) under boundary confinement. The wrinkles are formed in curved-armchair GNRs not in curved-zigzag GNRs. With temperatures of 300–900K and curvature radii of 3–6nm, the wavelength of wrinkles did not change obviously. In nanoindentation tests, the zigzag graphene comparing to the armchair graphene had the larger contact stiffness about 50%. Further the concave graphene comparing to the convex graphene showed the higher contact stiffness due to its higher Young's modulus.
