“…CNT use in different applications has kept growing since its first discovery in 1991 by Iijima [ 35 ]. Applications include fiber-reinforced material [ 36 ], water filtration, air filtration, energy storage [ 37 ], supercapacitors [ 38 ], textiles [ 39 ], structural health monitoring, and hydrogen sensors [ 40 ], to mention a few. The increasing integration of CNT material in various applications can be accelerated by doping CNT material with different elements of the periodic table to make it multifunctional.…”

Decades of extensive research have matured the development of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Still, the properties of macroscale assemblages, such as sheets of carbon nanotubes, are not good enough to satisfy many applications. This paper gives an overview of different approaches to synthesize CNTs and then focuses on the floating catalyst method to form CNT sheets. A method is also described in this paper to modify the properties of macroscale carbon nanotube sheets produced by the floating catalyst method. The CNT sheet is modified to form a carbon nanotube hybrid (CNTH) sheet by incorporating metal, ceramic, or other types of nanoparticles into the high-temperature synthesis process to improve and customize the properties of the traditional nanotube sheet. This paper also discusses manufacturing obstacles and the possible commercial applications of the CNT sheet and CNTH sheet. Manufacturing problems include the difficulty of injecting dry nanoparticles uniformly, increasing the output of the process to reduce cost, and safely handling the hydrogen gas generated in the process. Applications for CNT sheet include air and water filtering, energy storage applications, and compositing CNTH sheets to produce apparel with anti-microbial properties to protect the population from infectious diseases. The paper also provides an outlook towards large scale commercialization of CNT material.

“…A carrier gas such as hydrogen, argon, helium, nitrogen or a mixture of two or more gases facilitate floating the atomized form of the feedstock and catalyst into the reactor. Also, the alignment of the ceramic tube inside the furnace can be either horizontal 6 or vertical. 7 Along with these, the synthesis of CNTs uses different temperatures, ranging from 800˚C 8 to 1400˚C.…”

This paper describes innovative work in the manufacturing of carbon nanotube (CNT) fabric and tape and how these materials can be used in textiles and fashion apparel. The field of CNT fabric is new and this article discusses the potential commercial impact of CNT fabric, the manufacturing barriers that currently exist, and provides suggestions to push the field towards large scale commercialization. Areas under investigation for commercialization of CNT fabric, tape and yarn include flexible heaters, filter membranes, smart textiles, electrical machines, hybrid fabric, and biomedical wire.
