Abstract

The unique combination of superior mechanical and physical properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has motivated the research community to develop highperformance CNT composites for various structural and functional applications. How to control the microscale structure and morphology of CNTs and how to assemble them in effective and productive ways are critical for realizing their applications. Recent progress in the synthesis of dry-processable multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) has inspired new strategies for the best utilization of the excellent properties of MWCNTs in macroscopic composites. This chapter reviews the synthesis of dry-processable MWCNTs and the processing and properties of their composites. The preparation techniques and properties are also compared with the composites produced by wet-solution-processed CNTs.
