摘要：

The effect of carboxylation on axial Young's modulus of carbon nanotubes is investigated using a molecular dynamics (MD) approach. COMPASS force field is used to model the interatomic interactions in single wall (SWCNT) and multiwall carbon (MWCNT) with different amounts of -COOH groups attached to their surfaces. The results of the MD simulations show how an increase of the number of carboxylic groups on the CNT surface leads to a decrease on the Young moduli of the CNTs. The decrease of MWCNT Young's modulus is found to be lower than in the case of SWCNT. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
