Carbon nanotube (CNT) fiber and sheets formed by a specialized gas assembly pyrolytic reactor method that permits gas phase integration of nano and micro particles (NMPs) are processed into yarn and fabric used in the manufacture of personal protective clothing and equipment that can be tailored via selection of NMPs for a wide variety of functionality depending on target application. The CNT-NMP hybrid fabrics may be designed to exhibit enhanced electrical and thermal conductivity, moisture wicking, air filtering, and environmental sensing properties.

A method for annealing multi-walled carbon nanotubes includes applying a high-frequency electromagnetic field to the carbon nanotubes and causing the carbon nanotubes to self-heat to a temperature and for a time effective to reduce defects and reduce a number of walls in some of the carbon nanotubes.
