Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a CNT fiber that is constituted of aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs), is thin, has little irregularity in thickness, has excellent winding properties when undergoing coiling processing, and has superior conductivity. Provided is a CNT fiber constituted of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) having a thickness of 0.01 μm-3 mm, having a coefficient of variation for irregularity in thickness of 0.2 or less, having a distribution rate a for deviation from roundness of 40% or greater, and a distribution rate b of 70% or greater. Also provided is a method for manufacturing the CNT fiber.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A carbon nanotube (CNT) fiber consisting of CNTs and bile salts, having a thickness of 0.01 μm to 3 mm, a coefficient of variation for thickness irregularity of 0.2 or less, and a distribution rate a of 40% or more and a distribution rate b of 70% or more as indicators of roundness, wherein in a spectrum obtained by resonance Raman spectroscopic measurement, when the maximum peak intensity in the range of 1550 cm −1 to 1650 cm −1 is defined as G and the maximum peak intensity in the range from 1300 cm −1 to 1400 cm −1 is defined as D, the ratio G/D is 30 or more, and the CNT fiber has a fiber density of 0.8 g/cm 3 to 2.0 g/cm 3 . 2. The CNT fiber according to claim 1 , wherein 50 or more CNTs having a diameter of 5 nm or less are present in arbitrary 100 CNTs when observed with a transmission electron microscope. 3. The CNT fiber according to claim 1 , having a conductivity of 3000 S/cm to 60000 S/cm. 4. The CNT fiber according to claim 1 , wherein the bile salts are sodium cholate, sodium taurocholate, sodium deoxycholate and/or sodium taurodeoxycholate. 5. An electrical wire comprising the CNT fiber according to claim 1 . 6. A coil comprising the CNT fiber according to claim 1 .
