A nanostructure made of carbon atoms, resembling a real world buggy car has been designed respecting the sp2 bonding of the carbons as present in graphene and derived systems. The components of the carbon nanobuggy (nanotubes, nanotori, nanojunctions and nanogears) had been observed and tested for their stability in previous works, endorsing the stability and the plausibility of the nanobuggy itself. The resulting nanobuggy is optimized using MM+ force field.

Density functional theory and molecular dynamics simulations of carbon nanotubes, polyetheretherketone and their interfaces
Toraman, Gözdenur; Toffoli, Hande; Gürses, Ercan; Department of Physics (2018)
Carbon nanotubes are allotropes of carbon with a cylindrical nanostructure. A nanotube can roughly be described as a rolled-up graphene sheet, which is a two dimensional hexagonal arrangement of carbon atoms, often referred to as a honeycomb lattice. Carbon nanotubes, much like their parent material graphene, are characterized by high strength, high Young modulus, durability and tunable electronic behavior. As a result of these superior properties, CNTs have been used in diverse technologically relevant app...
From carbon nanotubes to carbon nanorods
Erkoç, Şakir (2000-09-01)
The structural properties of single and multi-wall carbon nanotubes and the formation of carbon nanorods from multi-wall carbon nanotubes have been investigated by performing molecular-dynamics computer simulations. Calculations have been realized by using an empirical many-body potential energy function for carbon. It has been found that carbon nanorod formation takes place with smallest possible multi-wall nanotubes under heat treatment. On the other hand, it has been also found that single-wall carbon na...
Meso-scale finite element modelling of carbon nanotube reinforced polymer composites
Haydar, Altay; Esat, Volkan; Mechanical Engineering (2021-12)
Carbon nanotube (CNT) reinforced polymer composites (CNTRPs) are promising materials which can be utilized in a variety of industries. Several experimental research studies have been conducted to determine the mechanical properties of CNTRPs, however results have not been conclusive. In this study, meso-scale representative volume elements (RVEs) of straight and coiled CNT (CCNT) reinforced epoxy composites were analysed by using commercial finite element analysis software MSC Marc-Mentat. CNTs were randoml...
Flexible supercapacitor electrodes with vertically aligned carbon nanotubes grown on aluminum foils
Dogru, Itir Bakis; Durukan, Mete Batuhan; Turel, Onur; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah (2016-06-01)
In this work, vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VACNTs) grown on aluminum foils were used as flexible supercapacitor electrodes. Aluminum foils were used as readily available, cheap and conductive substrates, and VACNTs were grown directly on these foils through chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. Solution based ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP) method was used for the deposition of the CNT catalyst. Direct growth of VACNTs on aluminum foils ruled out both the internal resistance of the supercapacitor...
Structural properties of carbon nanorods: Molecular-dynamics simulations
Erkoc, S; Malcıoğlu, Osman Barış (2002-03-01)
The formation of carbon nanorods from various types of carbon nanotubes has been investigated by performing molecular-dynamics computer simulations. Calculations have been realized by using an empirical many-body potential energy function for carbon. It has been found that carbon nanorod formed from carbon nanotubes with different chirality is not stable even at low temperature.
