Mechanically deforming the carbon nanotube alters its electric properties. In the example shown in Fig. 5.12, a carbon nanotube was bridged between two electrodes separated by a gap. When the middle of the carbon nanotube was pushed by an AFM tip, the nanotube was bent and its conductivity dropped. The electron conductivity was correlated with the degree of bending, which was measured from the position of the AFM. This process was repeatable. The bending of the carbon nanotube induced the formation of some nonconductive SP orbitals within its structure, althering its conductivity. This behavior is somewhat reminiscent of a switch.

The preparation of multi-walled carbon nanotube/ polylactide (PLA) composites is described. High electrical conductivity can be achieved at a low carbon nanotube loading. The carbon nanotube-induced crystallization can be controlled by the degree of the dispersion of carbon nanotubes in the PLA matrix. 

PLA than those in high-erystalline PLA. The tensile strength of pristine LC-PLA and 4 phr modified MWNT / LC-PLA nanocomposite are 59.9MPa and 76.2MPa (increase by 27.2%), respectively. As only 0.5phr modified MWNT was added into LC-PLA, the surface resistanee of nanocomposite decreased from 5.46x10 to 2.61 x 10 D(by lO order). Only 0.5 phr modified MWNT will induee erystallization, and improve the thermal properties of nanoeomposite. Carbon nanotube induced erystallization ean be eontrolled by the degree of the dispersion of earbon nanotube in low-crystalline PLA matrix.
