الوصف: Individual carbon nanotubes (CNTs) exhibit excellent mechanical, electrical and thermal properties, leading to development of a new generation of advanced lightweight materials and spacecraft electronics substituting the electronics based on silicon. The direct assembly of CNTs into macroscopic fibers or sheets has been a way to overcome their dispersion and processing challenges. Because of a wide range of applications of this material, we investigate effectively the defects on CNT yarns structures created by electron beam and gamma sources and their impact on the morphology and mechanical properties. The irradiated samples with electron beam at doses of 400, 600 and 800 kGy had a decrease in the strength from 219.60 ± 18.90 MPa for pristine yarn to 108.86 ± 23.77, 153.15 ± 21.63, 170.50 ± 25.78 MPa, respectively. The sample irradiated with gamma in air at dose of 100 kGy had the strength increased slightly as compared with the pristine sample and an increase in the elasticity modulus from 8.79 ± 1.19 to 19.63 ± 2.02 GPa as compared to CNT pristine yarn. The quality of the CNT yarns that was gamma irradiated in air with absorbed dose of 100 kGy was not affected by the radiation process with improvement of 123% of the Young’s modulus.
