Abstract
Carbon particles, such as, carbon fibrils and carbon nanotube molecules, are assembled into aligned fibers using processes derived from the processes used to manufacture optical fiber. More particularly, the carbon particles are embedded in glass, which is then drawn to align them. By aligned it is meant the axis along the longest dimension of each of the various particles in a local vicinity are substantially parallel.
