Abstract

Nanofibers are extremely thin fibers produced from materials such as carbon, polymers, ceramics, and metals with diameters in the nanometer range that gained significant interest due to their unique properties. Carbon nanotubes, which could be considered the most popular fibers in the nanoscale, have gained widespread recognition primarily due to their remarkable strength derived from their cylindrical hexagonal lattice formed by carbon covalent bonds. Here, a new family of carbon nanofibers is proposed, arising from the combination of the tubular hexagonal configuration of carbon nanotubes and the spherical nanostructure of carbon fullerenes. These novel nanofibers, hereafter named carbon nanotuballs, are expected to demonstrate new advantaged characteristics such as better cross-section properties, enhanced interfacial interactions, and other unique physical attributes when used as fillers within other phases. Some preliminary theoretical investigations based on molecular dynamics are provided here to test the structural stability and mechanical behaviour of some single-walled carbon nanotuballs.

纳米碳管:它们能否推动纳米纤维的未来?
纳米纤维是由直径在纳米范围内的碳纤维、聚合物、陶瓷和金属等材料制成的极细纤维,因其独特的性能而备受关注。碳纳米管可以说是纳米尺度上最受欢迎的纤维,之所以得到广泛认可,主要是因为碳纳米管由碳共价键形成的圆柱形六角晶格具有显著的强度。在此,我们提出了一种新的碳纳米纤维,它是由碳纳米管的管状六角形构型和碳富勒烯的球形纳米结构组合而成。这些新型纳米纤维(下称 "碳纳米管球")在用作其他相的填料时,有望表现出新的优势特性,如更好的横截面特性、更强的界面相互作用和其他独特的物理属性。本文提供了一些基于分子动力学的初步理论研究,以测试一些单壁碳纳米管球的结构稳定性和机械性能。
