We report the effect of annealing, both electrical and by applied voltage, on the electrical conductivity of fibers spun from carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Commercial CNT fibers were used as part of a larger goal to better understand the factors that go into making a better electrical conductor from CNT fibers. A study of thermal annealing in a vacuum up to 800 °C was performed on smaller fiber sections along with a separate analysis of voltage annealing up to 7 VDC; both exhibited a sweet spot in the process as determined by a combination of a two-point probe measurement with a nanoprobe, resonant Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Scaled-up tests were then performed in order to translate these results into bulk samples inside a tube furnace, with similar results that indicate the potential for an optimized method of achieving a better conductor sample made from CNT fibers. The results also help to determine the surface effects that need to be overcome in order to achieve this.

AbstractComposite nanofibers including ferritin nanoparticles or multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were fabricated to enhance the physical properties of the nanofibers, such as the elastic modulus and electrical conductivity. The ferritin was homogeneously incorporated in the polymeric nanofibers, but excess carbon nanotubes (CNTs) added to the polymer solution resulted in the fabrication of composite nanofibers with rough surfaces. PVA/ferritin/CNT composite nanofibers were fabricated that had smooth surfaces, and had a good dispersion of ferritin and CNTs. These composite nanofibers are applicable to artificial muscles requiring enhanced physical properties.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) coated by compatibilizer (P3HT-PMMA) imparted sta-ble dispersion in organic solvents and polymer matrix (P(VDF-TrFE)). The compatibility be-tween CNTs with P3HT-PMMA was con rmed by measuring Raman spectroscopy. CoatedCNTs were then blended with P(VDF-TrFE) (70:30 mol%) to obtain polymer nanocompositesby solution- casting process. Polymer nanocomposites showed enhanced electrical characteris-tics, as nanocomposites near the threshold of the transition between P(VDF-TrFE) insulatorand CNT conductor revealed great improvement of electrical conductivity up to 10-6 S/cmat 1 KHz. Electromechanical properties of the polymer nanocomposite were examined as afunction of electric eld.
