“…However, if polymeric compounds are infiltrated to strengthen CNT fibers, the insulation characteristic of the polymers can cause a decrease in conductivity. Tran et al compared the physical densification and epoxy crosslinking on the strength and conductivity for aerogel‐spun fibers. For the as‐produced, densified, and crosslinked samples, the average strength and electrical conductivity were 0.27 GPa/1.66 × 10 5 S m −1 , 2.8 GPa/1.2 × 10 6 S m −1 , and 3.6 GPa/4.89 × 10 5 S m −1 , respectively, clearly showing the effect of strengthening and insulating ability from the polymer of epoxy.…”

“…The above treatments can also be combined for a better enhancement. For example, Liu et al first densified the aerogel‐spun fiber with the Tran's method, and improved the conductivity up to 8.5 × 10 5 S m −1 (by a factor of 4). Then acid treatment (65 wt% HNO 3 ) was applied and a high conductivity of 1.8 × 10 6 S m −1 was obtained.…”

The development of fiber‐based smart electronics has provoked increasing demand for high‐performance and multifunctional fiber materials. Carbon nanotube (CNT) fibers, the 1D macroassembly of CNTs, have extensively been utilized to construct wearable electronics due to their unique integration of high porosity/surface area, desirable mechanical/physical properties, and extraordinary structural flexibility, as well as their novel corrosion/oxidation resistivity. To take full advantage of CNT fibers, it is essential to understand their mechanical and conductive properties. Herein, the recent progress regarding the intrinsic structure–property relationship of CNT fibers, as well as the strategies of enhancing their mechanical and conductive properties are briefly summarized, providing helpful guidance for scouting ideally structured CNT fibers for specific flexible electronic applications.

“…Both fibers and films are simultaneously very light-weight and very resistant to fatigue. Their electrical and mechanical properties remain even if they are knotted [34,35]. Additionally, they are highly porous and their specific surface area may range from tens to hundreds of m 2 /g [22,31,32,36,37].…”

Current studies of carbon nanotubes have enabled both new electronic applications and improvements to the performance of existing ones. Manufacturing of macroscopic electronic components with this material generally involves the use of printed electronic methods, which must use carbon nanotube (CNT) powders. However, in recent years, it has been shown that the use of ready-made self-standing macroscopic CNT assemblies could have considerable potential in the future development of electronic components. Two examples of these are spun carbon nanotube fibers and CNT films. The following paper considers whether these spun materials may replace printed electronic CNT elements in all applications. To enable the investigation of this question some practical experiments were undertaken. They included the formation of smart textile elements, flexible and transparent components, and structural electronic devices. By taking this approach it has been possible to show that CNT fibres and films are highly versatile materials that may improve the electrical and mechanical performance of many currently produced printed electronic elements. Additionally, the use of these spun materials may enable many new applications and functionalities particularly in the area of e-textiles. However, as with every new technology, it has its limitations, and these are also considered.

“…Hence, the study of novel cable's materials and designs with the exposure of non-hysteretic characteristics, high force transmission capacity, minimal size such as polymer fibres used for fishing line and sewing thread is promising 81 . Carbon nanotube is also a potential candidate 33,113,114,137,[196][197][198][199] . In addition, it is the fact that the feedback of position and force information is inevitably vital for the surgeons to do precise surgical procedures.…”
