Abstract
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have remarkable mechanical and electrical properties whichmake them attractive for a large number of applications. Attempts have been made todevelop reinforced composites, super-strong fibers and sheets, nanoprobes, chemical andbiological sensors, nanoscale electromechanical devices and molecular electronics. Nanotubearrays are being developed for field-emitter-based screens and thermal management. Themechanical strength of many of these devices critically relies on the nanotribology andnanomechanics of CNTs. Various investigations of adhesion, friction, wear and mechanics ofMWNTs, SWNTs and MWNT arrays have been carried out. This paper provides anoverview.
