Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) dispersion in polymer matrices uniformly remains a challenge. Uniform dispersion of CNTs within ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) solution is the first step to achieve CNT/UHMWPE fibres with excellent properties. Several approaches have been tried. Composite powder was acquired by coating CNTs on UHMWPE powder, then, dissolved in decalin, through gel spinning, higher stronger composite fibre is fabricated.
