Carbon nanotube and graphene fibers: Synthesis, properties and functional applications
D
ue to the unique structures and supreme mechanical, electrical and thermal properties, carbon nanotube and
graphene are ideal building blocks for super fibers which own great potential applications in many fields. However,
the lack of effective assembles technique makes it is of great challenges in obtaining strong nanocarbon fibers with
multifunctional properties and applications. Here we will talk about our concerned work on the synthesis, assembly
and mechanical properties of carbon nanotube and graphene fibers, and their applications in fields such as EMI, energy
will be included as well.
