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 …

Various important means are now available for continuously making CNT yarns by either
liquid-state [13–15] or dry-state methods.[9, 16–20] Yarns spun from spinnable nanotube …

The creation of continuous yarns made out of carbon nanotubes would enable macroscopic
nanotube devices and structures to be constructed,. Here we show that carbon nanotubes …

The strength and flexibility of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) allow them to be constructed into a
variety of innovated architectures with fascinating properties. Here, we show that CNTs can …

Broader applications of carbon nanotubes to real-world problems have largely gone
unfulfilled because of difficult material synthesis and laborious processing. We report high …

Multifunctional applications of textiles have been limited by the inability to spin important
materials into yarns. Generically applicable methods are demonstrated for producing …

We report a simple and continuous spinning method that combines twisting and shrinking
processes to produce carbon nanotube yarns. In this method, a yarn freshly spun from a …

With their impressive individual properties, carbon nanotubes should form high-performance
fibers. We explored the roles of nanotube length and structure, fiber density, and nanotube …

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 …

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 …
