Description
Summary:The development of intelligent wearable devices has resulted in a demand for the connection of carbon nanotube (CNT) fibers. In this study, CNT fibers with a diameter of approximately 100 m are connected to each other to form butt joints using meniscus-confined electrochemical deposition method. This deposition method shows good systematic robustness, with the joints wrapped by a cladding layer. With optimization of the processing parameters, the joints exhibit a good microstructure with a dense, compact surface. The average resistance of a single joint is determined to be approximately 2.834 . Among all the parameters applied in this paper, the carbon nanotube fiber joints could withstand a maximum load of 212.3 cN.
