Structural modification of carbon nanotube film toward multifunctional composites via a wet-compression method

Carbon nanotube film (CNTF) assembled by floating catalyst chemical vapor deposition (FFCVD) is a promising material for smart textile, multifunctional composites and soft robotics due to their lightweight, flexibility and electromechanical properties. However, bulk CNTF exhibit unsatisfactory properties, due to the loose and porous packing structures. In this study, an innovative and effective strategy was proposed to densify CNTF by a...
