Abstract: A humidity nonsensitive material based on reduced-graphene oxide (r-GO) and methods of making the same are provided, in an embodiment, the materia! has a resistance/humidity variation of about −15% to 15% based on different sintering time or temperature. In an aspect, the resistance variation to humidity can be close to zero or −0.5% to 0.5%, showing a humidity non sensitivity property. In an embodiment, a humidity nonsensitive material based on the r-GO and carbon nanotube (CNT) composites is provided, wherein the ratio of CNT to r-GO is adjusted. The ratio can be adjusted based on the combined contribution of carbon nanotube (positive resistance variation) and reduced-graphene oxide (negative resistance variation) behaviors.

Abstract: A method for making a copolymer-wrapped nanotube coaxial fiber. The method includes supplying a first dope to a spinning nozzle; supplying a second dope to the spinning nozzle; spinning the first and second dopes as a coaxial fiber into a first wet bath; and placing the coaxial fiber into a second wet bath, which is different from the first bath. The coaxial fiber has a core including parts of the first dope and a sheath including parts of the second dope. Solvent molecules of the second wet bath penetrate the sheath and remove an acid from the core.

Abstract: A hybrid fiber with tunable stiffness includes a stiff fiber, a soft fiber connected in series to the stiff fiber, and a locking mechanism in contact with the soft fiber and configured to prevent the soft fiber from extending during a locked state, and to allow the soft fiber to extend during an unlocked state. The hybrid fiber has a substantially zero-bending resistance, irrespective of whether the soft fiber is in a locked or an unlocked state.

Abstract: A method comprising: providing at least one first composition comprising at least one conjugated polymer and at least one solvent, wet spinning the at least one first composition to form at least one first fiber material, hot-drawing the at least one fiber to form at least one second fiber material. In lead embodiments, high-performance poly(3,4-ethylenedioxy-thiophene)/poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT/PSS) conjugated polymer microfibers were fabricated via wet-spinning followed by hot-drawing. In these lead embodiments, due to the combined effects of the vertical hot-drawing process and doping/de-doping the microfibers with ethylene glycol (EG), a record electrical conductivity of 2804 S·cm−1 was achieved. This is believed to be a six-fold improvement over the best previously reported value for PEDOT/PSS fibers (467 S·cm−1) and a twofold improvement over the best values for conductive polymer films treated by EG de-doping (1418 S·cm−1). Moreover, these lead, highly conductive fibers experience a semiconductor-metal transition at 313 K. They also have superior mechanical properties with a Young's modulus up to 8.3 GPa, a tensile strength reaching 409.8 MPa and a large elongation before failure (21%). The most conductive fiber also demonstrates an extraordinary electrical performance during stretching/unstretching: the conductivity increased by 25% before the fiber rupture point with a maximum strain up to 21%. Simple fabrication of the semi-metallic, strong and stretchable wet-spun PEDOT/PSS microfibers can make them available for conductive smart electronics. A dramatic improvement in electrical conductivity is needed to make conductive polymer fibers viable candidates in applications such as flexible electrodes, conductive textiles, and fast-response sensors and actuators.
