Discussion Topic Posted for the NANOTUBE-99 Workshop:

A nice reference I found about metal matrix composites was not encouraging because of poor interaction between nanotubes and the metal matrix. Perhaps the nanoscale effective critical length for reinforcement is longer than we think it might be, as reported in: Processing of carbon nanotube reinforced aluminum composite, T. Kuzumaki, K. Miyazawa, H. Ichinose, K. Ito, J. Mater. Res., (1998) Vol. 13, No. 9, 2445 Read about SWNT mechanical properties in: Bending and buckling of carbon nanotubes under large strain, M. Falvo et al., Nature (1997) Vol. 389, 582-584 Read about recent work in epoxy nanotube composites in: Evaluation of Young's modulus of carbon nanotubes by miro-RAMAN spectroscopy, O. Lourie, H.D. Wagner, J. Mater. Res. (1998) Vol. 13, No. 9, 2418-2422
