Carbon Nanotube Fibres and Yarns for Smart Textiles: Production, Properties and Applications in Smart Textiles

Carbon Nanotube Fibres and Yarns for Smart Textiles explores the relevance of carbon nanotube science to textile technologists, as a new emerging high-performance textile material to meet challenging requirements. Particular emphasis is placed on applications in smart textiles and wearable electronics applications such as flexible sensors, actuators and energy sources. This collection examines the state of the art in carbon nanotube (CNT) research to provide guidance for those in academia and industry exploring problems where CNTs may provide design solutions. It also addresses advances in yarn spinning methods, and yarn structures and properties, providing a complete review of CNT technology. Drawing on his experience of the textile industry, the editor presents academic research in a way that is comprehensible and useful to materials scientists and engineers in practice. Explains how carbon nanotube science can meet the challenging requirements of important and emerging smart textiles and wearable electronics applicationsReviews and analyzes key developments on CNT yarn spinning methods, yarn structures and properties, and proposed applicationsAddresses the potential applications of CNT yarns and nanocomposite fibers INDICE: 1.
