Abstract
Disclosed are processes for preparing nanotube composite materials and fibers that provide exceptional nanotube alignment and dispersion. The disclosed processes include contacting nanotube dispersions with polymer melts. Also disclosed are nanotube composite fibers having high nanotube concentrations, exceptional nanotube alignment, and high thermal conductivity.
