Coagulation spinning produces structures such as fibers, ribbons, and yarns of carbon nanotubes. Stabilization, orientation, and shaping of spun materials are achieved by post-spinning processes. Advantages include the elimination of core-sheath effects due to carbonaceous contaminants, increasing mechanical properties, and eliminating dimensional instabilities in liquid electrolytes that previously prohibited the application of these spun materials in electrochemical devices. These advances enable the application of coagulation-spun carbon nanotube fibers, ribbons, and yarns in actuators, supercapacitors, and in devices for electrical energy harvesting.

Spinning, processing, and applications of carbon nanotube filaments, ribbons, and yarns

An electrically conductive flow-field plate in a proton exchange membrane fuel cell comprises a composition made of a resin and a plurality of carbon nanotubular fibers having an average diameter is at least about 0.5 nm and up to about 300 nm. The carbon nanotubular fibers are present at not more than about 85 wt. %. The resin can be of a thermoplastic type, a fluorinated type, a thermosetting type and a liquid crystalline type.
