Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adma201570141-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>On page 3250, R. Zhao, H. Lee, S.‐g. Kim, and co‐workers show a simultaneous improvement of the electrical and mechanical properties of carbon nanotube (CNT) fibers via infiltration and direct insulation‐to‐conduction transformation of adhesive polydopamine (PDA). Infiltrated PDA plays an important role as an adhesive polymer, which increases the inter‐CNT binding strength, and is later converted to a conductive, graphitic adhesive by pyrolysis. This property conversion of PDA increases both the mechanical strength and the electrical conductivity of the CNT fibers. <graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgjqk1ckm5" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></p> </abstract>
