We study the interaction between two separate carbon nanotubes that bond together by examing their geometry in transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The TEM image, in conjunction with a continuum mechanics model interpretation, provides an estimate of 0.36 nN binding energy between the two parallel carbon nanotubes. This result agrees well with the calculated binding energy using an atomistic model.
