Carbon nanotubes are light, stiff and electroactive materials particularly promising in the field of actuating materials. Indeed, carbon can expand contract upon charge injection be used for development electromechanical actuators. also included polymers to improve their properties bring specific functionalities. When added shape memory polymers, yield an improved stiffness possibility heat material through Joule’s heating. Nevertheless, spatial ordering is a critical issue all these classes...

Abstract We report a water‐based spinning process to produce polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)–carbon nanotube composite fibers that contain large fraction of nanotubes. The differs from previous methods achieve related materials because the solution is injected in static coagulation bath instead being circulated coflowing streams. resultant wet reminiscent processes industrially developed for neat PVA fibers. Considering its robustness, therefore expected be easily scalable greater production....

Many synthetic or natural fibers are produced via the transformation of a liquid solution into solid filament, which allows wet processing high molecular weight polymers, proteins, inorganic particles. Synthetic wet-spun used in our everyday life from clothing to composite reinforcement applications. Spun also common nature. Silk solidification results coagulation protein solutions. The chemical phenomena involved formation all these classes can be quite different but they share same...

Abstract Lignin is a promising bio‐based precursor for sustainable carbon fibers. Limiting factors their development include the brittleness of lignin and lack large‐scale production routes. Here, simple economic wet‐spinning method, suitable fabrication fibers based on softwood Kraft (KL) polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), proposed. These two polymers reveal partial miscibility in solution, form metastable dispersions solid state. KL‐PVA are prepared at weight ratio 70:30 carbonized without...

Abstract Residual stress in polymers arises from the freezing of unstable molecular conformations. is critical because its relaxation can cause shrinkage, defects, and fractures polymer materials. The storage purposely enhanced to develop shape memory Unfortunately, mechanical still poorly controlled understood. An approach sense based on spectroscopic response carbon nanotubes explored. Raman exhibits a variable sensitivity strain when embedded that have experienced different thermal...
