Morphology control of rapid grown vertically aligned carbon nanotube forest for fiber spinning

摘要

Rapid grown vertically aligned carbon nanotubes forests (VACNFs) have received enormous attention for nanotube spinning. VACNFs are composed of not only straight CNTs, those are parallel to each other, but also curly CNTs. The bundle formation and alignment in VACNFs are crucial for spinnability of CNT fibers. In the present study, we present the effect of morphology control of VACNFs on fibers spinning.
