Surface roughness evolution
With a shallow chemical etching the roughness with spatial frequency below a critical value grows while the roughness of higher frequency decays.

Review Article, 2007, accepted by NANO
The interface behavior may significantly influence the mechanical properties of carbon nanotube (CNT)-reinforced composites due to the large interface area per unit volume at the composite. The modeling of CNT/polymer interfaces has been a challenge in the continuum modeling of CNT reinforced composites.
