sults. Notably, a COF of 0.19 was obtained, which is similar to the COF obtained for IFs/tetradecane, reflecting the dominant role of the WS 2 transfer layers formed in situ during sliding in this system. In conclusion, we have used the surface forces apparatus to characterize the normal and latera
## Abstract PVA and PVA/SWNT fibers (PVAβ=βpoly(vinyl alcohol), SWNTβ=βsingleβwalled nanotubes) were processed by gel spinning. At 1βwt.β% SWNT loading, tensile strength increased from 1.6βGPa for the control PVA to 2.6βGPa for PVA/SWNT composite. Analysis of this data suggests stress of up to β116
