Abstract
The van der Waals interaction between carbon nanotubes leads to forming the agglomerates. If the nanotubes are the same diameters and legths they are associated into regular structure like a crystal. However, the van der Waals forces also result to some deformation of the nanotubes. This work presents the analysis of the influence of the nanotubes’ diameters and the symmetry of their arrangement on the nanotube deformation and intertube distances.
