Abstract
The answer to this question is revealed by our dual scale models, which say that the composite is the strongest and the toughest not when nanotubes themselves absorb energy but when they serve a supporting role in facilitating matrix to do the energy absorption instead. Toughening by means of only nanotube debonding/pull-out is not the most optimal strategy. The model concurrently considers five energy absorbing mechanisms acting at different...
