Abstract

The mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes and vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VACNT) forests were determined using nanoindentation. The study of the nanoindentation on a VACNT forest revealed a process whereby nanotubes are consecutively bent during the penetration of the indicator. It was shown that nanoindentation tests on three VACNT forest samples revealed the effective bending modulus of multiwall carbon nanotubes.
