## Abstract We report a facile method to accomplish the crosslinking reaction of PVA with SWNTs, MWNTs, and Cβ60 using MW irradiation. Nanocomposites of PVA crosslinked with SWNT, MWNT and Cβ60 were prepared expeditiously by reacting the respective carbon nanotubes with 3 wt.β% PVA under MW irradia
## 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
