Empirical Correlation of the Morphology of Coiled Carbon Nanotubes with Their Response to Axial Compression

The mechanical response of thirteen different helical multi-walled carbon nanocoils to axial compression is reported. Each nanocoil was attached to the apex of a cantilever probe tip; its dimensions and orientation relative to the tip apex were determined with scanning electron microscopy. The atomi...
