| Abstract: | A double-walled nanotube is modeled in which the outer nanotube was chemically modified with n-propyl groups. Molecular dynamics simulations demonstrate that the Young's modulus of this system decreases with the degree of functionalization of the outer nanotube. Molecular dynamics simulations of nanotube pull-out also predict that functionalization impedes the slippage of nanotubes during telescopic motion. | |
