Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have gathered much attention because of those outstanding mechanical properties. In the previous conference, we have reported a way to produce high-crystallinity CNTs by the so-called Floating-Bridge (FB) mechanism. Herein we demonstrate that the FB-synthesized CNT fibers exhibit a well-aligned fibrous conformation along the longitudinal direction.
