Strong, Transparent, Multifunctional, Carbon Nanotube Sheets
Mei Zhang,Mei Zhang,Shaoli Fang,Shaoli Fang,Anvar A. Zakhidov,Anvar A. Zakhidov,Sergey Lee,Sergey Lee,Ali E. Aliev,Ali E. Aliev,Chris Williams,Chris Williams,Ken Atkinson,Ken Atkinson,Ray H. Baughman,Ray H. Baughman +15 more
TL;DR: Self-supporting nanotube sheets are initially formed as a highly anisotropic electronically conducting aerogel that can be densified into strong sheets that are as thin as 50 nanometers and the measured gravimetric strength of orthogonally oriented sheet arrays exceeds that of sheets of high-strength steel.

Fabrication and application of nanofiber ribbons and sheets and twisted and non-twisted nanofiber yarns
Mei Zhang,Shaoli Fang,Ray H. Baughman,Anvar A. Zakhidov,Kenneth Ross Atkinson,Ali E. Aliev,Sergey Li,Chris Williams +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the properties and properties of carbon nanotube yarns, ribbons, and sheets, including extreme toughness, resistance to failure at knots, high electrical and thermal conductivities, high absorption of energy that occurs reversibly, up to 13% strain-to-failure compared with other fibers with similar toughness, retention of strength even when heated in air at 450°C for one hour, and very high radiation and UV resistance, even when irradiated in air.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrically, Chemically, and Photonically Powered Torsional and Tensile Actuation of Hybrid Carbon Nanotube Yarn Muscles
Márcio D. Lima,Na Li,Na Li,Mônica Jung de Andrade,Shaoli Fang,Jiyoung Oh,Geoffrey M. Spinks,Mikhail E. Kozlov,Carter S. Haines,Dongseok Suh,Javad Foroughi,Seon Jeong Kim,Yongsheng Chen,Taylor H. Ware,Min Kyoon Shin,Leonardo D. Machado,Alexandre F. Fonseca,John D. W. Madden,Walter Voit,Douglas S. Galvao,Ray H. Baughman +20 more
TL;DR: Guest-filled, twist-spun carbon nanotube yarns are designed as electrolyte-free muscles that provide fast, high-force, large-stroke torsional and tensile actuation and can solve the problems of speed and lifetime.
