Abstract (en)

Carbon nanotubes (CNT) fibers having a resistivity lower than 120 µ©*cm are prepared by a process comprising the steps of supplying a spin-dope comprising carbon nanotubes to a spinneret, extruding the spin-dope through at least one spinning hole in the spinneret to form spun carbon nanotubes fibers, coagulating the spun carbon nanotubes fibers in a coagulation medium to form coagulated carbon nanotubes fibers, wherein the carbon nanotubes fibers are drawn at a draw ratio of at least 0.8, preferably higher than 1.0, and wherein the carbon nanotubes have a length of at least 0,5 µm, preferably of at least 2 µm. The carbon nanotubes preferably have a G/D ratio of at least 10. In another aspect, carbon nanotubes (CNT) fibers are disclosed having a modulus of at least 150 GPa, preferably at least 200 GPa.
