TL;DR: This work demonstrates a simple and industrially scaleable route that yields a 1.5–5-fold improvement in the in-magnetic-field current densities of conductors that are already of high quality.

TL;DR: The synthesis of 4-cm-long individual single-wall carbon nanotubes at a high growth rate of 11 μm s−1 by catalytic chemical vapour deposition is reported, suggesting the possibility of growing SWNTs continuously without any apparent length limitation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report CNT fibers that are many times stronger and stiffer per weight than the best existing engineering fibers and over twenty times better than other reported CNT fibres.

TL;DR: In this article, the electron transport properties of neat, well-aligned CNT fibers were investigated and it was found that chemical treatments may significantly affect the conductivities of as-spun fibers.

TL;DR: The spinning of CNT fibers from relatively long CNT arrays (0.65 mm) is reported, which shows the influence of post-spin twisting on the mechanical performance of these fibers is discussed and the major issues include a relatively high fraction of remaining polymer volume and short individual CNTs, which limits the fiber strength, electrical and thermal conductivity.
