Post-spinning treatments to carbon nanotube fibers 131

applications, such as structural materials for automotive and aerospace ap-
plications [76], electrical and thermal conductors for energy applications
[33, 77], nano-biotechnology [78], and in other disciplines [44, 79]. The
CNT fibers with their aligned CNT structures and excellent mechanical
and electrical properties are promising materials to fabricate high perfor-
mance, lightweight, and multifunctional composites.
