Abstract

The mechanical properties of free standing films of as prepared and acid purified single-walled carbon nanotubes were studied by means of tensile stress measurements as well as electron microscopy. Films appear to fail by crack propagation involving rupture or matrix pull-out of bridging nanotube bundles.
