摘要
A flexible and elastic carbon coil (see figure) has been fabricated using a continuous yarn of carbon nanotube arrays. The processed yarn is both elastic and pliable and can be freely manipulated and molded to any desired shape that is retained after heat treatment. Owing to their highly ordered macroscopic structures, the good electrical and thermal conductivity of the nanotube components, and their good mechanical properties, these carbon nanostructures may find extensive use in a wide range of applications.
