Nanotube fibres toughen up in the heat

Abstract:
Researchers from the Paul Pascal Research Centre and University of South Paris, France, have used hot-drawing to improve the mechanical properties of fibres made from carbon nanotubes. The process increased the fibre's toughness at low strains and made them more water resistant.
