  Abstract

In this study, we report the structural features and electrical properties of a multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)-based fibers, composed entirely of MWCNTs or a large fraction of MWCNTs, using traditional fibermanufacturing techniques inspired from classical methods applied in the creation of polyester or nylon microfibers. To obtain the MWCNT-based fibers used in this study, as-spun fibers designed to achieve 20 wt% poly(ethylene glycol)-functionalized MWCNTs and 80 wt% alkali-soluble elastomeric copolyester were prepared using a conventional wet-spinning process, and the copolyester was then sequentially removed from the as-spun fiber through an alkaline post-treatment process. As a result, we obtained a final unique MWCNT-based fiber with a MWCNT content of close to 80 wt%. The results of a morphological characterization show clearly that the surface of the fiber is mostly composed of MWCNTs with a compact structure. In addition, the MWCNT-based fiber exhibited an improved electrical conductivity of 1.9
