It is well known that the traditional buckypaper (BP) is composed of a certain number of short carbon nanotubes (CNTs) intertwined with each other and sliding always happens when the BP is under tensile and impact loading, which results in inferior mechanical properties compared to single CNTs. In this work, a highly-entangled single-wire BP (SWBP) structure is constructed by a modified self-avoiding random walk approach. The in-plane mechanical properties and impacting behaviors of the SWBPs with different entanglement degrees and interface frictions are systematically investigated via newly developed coarse-grained molecular dynamics (CGMD) simulation. A coarse-grained method can effectively reflect the inter-tube van der Waals (vdW) interactions and the mechanical behaviors of CNTs, including tension, bending and adhesion. In this work, from the tensile simulations of the SWBP, the results showed that the self-locking mechanism between entangled CNTs could significantly enhance the tensile resistance of the film. Besides, the mechanical properties of the SWBP are highly dependent on the entanglement degree and the interface friction between CNTs. Furthermore, two distinct fracture modes, ductile fracture and brittle fracture, are revealed, which can be efficiently controlled by changing the related friction between CNTs. From the impacting simulations, it is found that the impacting performance can be effectively tuned by adjusting the entanglement degree of the film. In addition, the kinetic energy of the projectile could be rapidly dissipated through the stretching and bending of CNTs in the SWBP. This work provides an in-depth understanding of the effect of interface friction and entanglement degree on the mechanical properties of the buckypaper and provides a reference for the preparation of strong CNT-based micromaterials.
