Abstract
We report the first observation of the formation of damage doublets in adjacent carbon nanotubes embedded in a polymer matrix. Such damage clusters are comparable to those arising in fiber-reinforced composite materials as a result of the redistribution of stress from a failed fiber to its unfailed adjacent neighbors. This observation may help shed light on fracture nucleation and growth in nanotube-based composites.
