A method for quantifying the nanomechanics of nanomaterials was developed using a nanoprobe manipulator fitted into a transmission electron microscope. Apparent Young’s moduli of various carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were measured using this method. The apparent Young’s modulus of an arc-grown CNT is as large as approximately 3.3TPa, which is close to the theoretical Young’s modulus (5.5TPa) of the single-walled CNT simulated using molecular dynamics. The relationship between the apparent Young’s modulus and the crystallinity of CNTs is demonstrated using the crystallinity parameter ID∕IG derived by Raman spectroscopic analysis. The apparent Young’s modulus is higher for better crystallinity of CNT.
