摘要：

Composites of uniaxially oriented multiwalled carbon nanotubes embedded in polymer matrices were fabricated and investigated by transmission electron microscopy. In strained composite films, buckling was ubiquitously observed in bent nanotubes with large curvatures. By analyses of a large number of bent nanotubes, the onset buckling strain and fracture strain were estimated to be approximate to 5% and greater than or equal to 18%, respectively. The buckling wavelengths are proportional to the dimensions of the nanotubes. Examination of the fracture surface showed adherence of the polymer to the nanotubes.
