The structural durability of multiwalled carbon nanotubes under hydrostatic and non-hydrostatic compression was examined by in situ X-ray powder diffraction at room temperature. No interlayer interaction such as sp3hybridization that could lead to hexagonal diamond in graphite was observed under compression up to 52GPa, even though the nanotubes were similar in compressibility to graphite. This result could be attributed to the nested structure, which makes the interlayer stacking of carbon atoms take on an irregular arrangement. Despite the history of non-hydrostatic compression, electron microscopic observation revealed that the structure remained nested tubular. This reversibility suggests the nanotubes have strong durability on non-hydrostatic compression under extreme pressures.
