Hybrid Yarns: Highly Conductive Carbon Nanotube‐Graphene Hybrid Yarn (Adv. Funct. Mater. 37/2014)

Abstract

A new process to manufacture highly conductive textile yarn for use in wearable electronics by providing flexible fiber electrodes for energy storage, low-loss interconnects, sensors, and artificial muscles is described by J. Foroughi and team on page 5859. Graphene dispersions are electrospun onto the continuously drawn multi-walled carbon nanotube sheets and transformed into yarn filaments by twist insertion.
