N2 - Nanotechnology has been extensively studied for its potential to effectively control material properties. Recent research has shown a growing interest in nanomaterials and the development of modeling systems and manufacturing processes. Carbon-based materials, known for their exceptional mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties, have emerged as promising candidates for nanodevices and nanocomposites. Among carbon-based nanomaterials, spiral carbon-based nanomaterials (SCBNs) have drawn attention due to their unique geometry and carbon properties. This group includes coiled carbon nanotubes (CCNTs), graphene helicoids (GHs), and conical coiled carbon nanotubes. By manipulating their geometrical parameters, functionalization, chemical doping, and mechanical loadings, a wide range of features can be achieved in these nanostructures. Furthermore, their distinct geometry allows for unique interactions with their surroundings. This review focuses on the research conducted using molecular dynamics to investigate the mechanical, thermal, and interfacial properties of SCBNs. Different factors were taken into consideration by researchers, such as tube diameter, temperature, durability, and incorporation into composites, among others. The insights gained from these studies contribute to a better understanding of SCBN characteristics, which is essential for controlling their properties in nanodevices and nanocomposites.
