Macroscopic fibres made up of carbon nanotubes exhibit properties far below theoretical predictions and even much lower than those for conventional carbon fibres. Here we report …
We study how intrinsic parameters of carbon nanotube (CNT) samples affect the properties of macroscopic CNT fibers with optimized structure. We measure CNT diameter, number of …
From the stone ages to modern history, new materials have often been the enablers of revolutionary technologies.[1] For a wide variety of envisioned applications in space …
By introducing twist during spinning of multiwalled carbon nanotubes from nanotube forests to make multi-ply, torque-stabilized yarns, we achieve yarn strengths greater than 460 …
We report on the latest properties of solution spun carbon nanotube fiber (CNTF) and discuss these results in the context of the field of CNTF, as well as the broader field of high …
At the microscopic scale, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) combine impressive tensile strength and electrical conductivity; however, their macroscopic counterparts have not met expectations …
Nanotubes of carbon and other mate-rials are arguably the most fascinating materials playing an important role in nanotechnology today. Their unique mechanical, electronic, and …
Macroscopic fibers containing only Carbon NanoTubes (CNTs) will yield great advances in high-tech applications if they can attain a significant portion of the extraordinary mechanical …
