From an early study 1, the experimental values of Youngâ��s modulus of the carbon nanotubes was 1.3 â��0.4/+0.6 TPa. While, in another study 2 measured value for Youngâ��s modulus of nanotubes as 0.816 ± 0.41 TPa. The wide variation in the experimental results may be due to the several factors including (i) presence of defects in nanotube specimens and (ii) inherent limitations of current experimental techniques. © 2016, Springer International Publishing Switzerland. %Z cited By 0
