Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="toc"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <graphic position="anchor" id="ga" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgj105f0rfd" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" />The morphology of commercial carbon nanotube (CNT) materials is normally quite complex and we combine molecular dynamics and path-integral computational methods, along with effective medium theory, to model the conductive properties of CNT composites based on a more realistic description of this class of materials. Image shows a simulated "gel" composed of interpenetrating CNT domains.</p> </abstract>
