The overall framework of this PhD. work is to develop new materials to replace metals in electrical wiring. Carbon nanotubes (CNT) are a good alternative as they show a high electrical conductivity as well as they can be assembled into yarns. However, CNT yarns have not yet reached the electrical conductivity of individual CNTs preventing them from competing with metals. The aim of this work is to identify the factors limiting the CNT yarn conductivity, increase the CNT yarn conductivity and model their electrical transport. In this work, carbon nanotubes are grown in array by Chemical Vapour Deposition. Our CNT arrays are spinnable meaning that, CNT webs can be drawn from it and then densified into yarns. All the published works on this ty...
