Abstract

A new group of nanomaterials, in free-standing form, such as fiber/yarns, paper/sheet and bulk, made of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), has emerged in recent years. These materials have shown special and unique mechanical, thermal and electrical properties, with potential applications in various aspects. This chapter is aimed to summarize the significant progress that has been made and the importance of potential applications of these carbon nanomaterials. CNTs, of single-walled (SW), double-walled (DW) and multiwalled (MW), processing strategies (spinning, filtration, deposition and SPS), morphologies, properties (mechanical, electrical and thermal) and potential applications, as well as their inter-relationships, will be presented and discussed in detail.
