This volume presents the characterization methods involved with carbon nanotubes and carbon nanotube-based composites, with a more detailed look on computational mechanics approaches, namely the finite element method.

Explores carbon composite materials in which carbon nanotubes are used in the composite's reinforcing phase Presents the characterization methods used with carbon nanotubes and carbon nanotube-based composites Emphasizes the influence of imperfections on the structure of the nanomaterials Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
