## Abstract **Summary:** Fibers and yarns are promising forms to use and control the spatial orientation of carbon nanotubes in macroscopic materials. Various approaches have been proposed in the last few years to achieve fibers with a fraction of carbon nanotubes. Among them, coagulation spinning
## 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
