✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Advances in functionality and reliability of nanocomposite materials require careful formulation of processing methods to ultimately realize the desired properties. An extensive study of how the variation in fabrication process would affect the mechanism of conductivity and thus the final electrical properties of the carbon nanotube–polymer composite is presented. Some of the most widely implemented procedures are addressed, such as ultrasonication, melt shear mixing, and addition of surfactants. It is hoped that this study could provide a systematic guide to selecting and designing the downstream processing of carbon nanocomposites. Finally, this guide is used to demonstrate the fabrication and performance of a stretchable (pliable) conductor that can reversibly undergo uniaxial strain of over 100%, and other key applications are discussed.

## Abstract We examined electrical properties of composites of carbon nanofibers (CNFs)/linear low‐density polyethylene (LLDPE) in the range of mixing time. An addition of CNFs into LLDPE led to a decrease of electrical resistivity, and the large amounts of CNFs were required to reach the electrica

Spun carbon nanotube (CNT) fibers have great potential for conducting and sensing applications owing to their unique, tunable electrical properties. [1][2][3][4][5] Here we report the electron transport properties of neat, well-aligned CNT fibers spun from arrays of millimeter-long CNTs. The conduct
