Abstract

Hybrid boron nitride–carbon nanotubes (BN-CNTs) have attracted considerable attention in recent research. In this effort, molecular dynamics simulations were performed to study the fundamentals of BN-CNTs in tensile tests, i.e. Young's modulus and fracture strength (strain). Particular attentio...
