Abstract

Commonly isolated carbon nanotubes in suspension have been modelled as a perfectly straight structure. Nevertheless, single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) contain naturally side-wall defects and, in consequence, natural bent configurations. Hence, a semi-flexile filament model with a natural bent configuration was proposed to represent physically the SWNT structure. This continuous model was discretized as a non-freely jointed multi-bead-rod system with a natural bent configuration. Using a Brownian dynamics algorithm the dynamical mechanical contribution to the linear viscoelastic response of naturally bent SWNTs in dilute suspension was simulated. The dynamics of such system shows the apparition of new relaxation processes at intermediate frequencies characterized mainly by the activation of a mild elasticity. Storage modulus evolution at those intermediate frequencies strongly depends on the flexibility of the system, given by the rigidity constant of the bending potential and the number of constitutive rods.
