• Description:
  The results of this program are as follows: Successful, simple, durable integration of CNT sheets on to textile fabric; Qualitative analysis of CNT sheet/fabric composite demonstrates better thermal conductivity than fabric alone; CNT sheet treated with helium/oxygen plasma demonstrates better wettability than pristine CNT sheet; CNT-clad textile fiber offers novel alternative for future studies.
