High-strength composite fibers were prepared from polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) (Degree of polymerization: 1500) reinforced by single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) containing few defects. The SWCNTs were dispersed in a 10 wt.% PVA/dimethylsulfoxide solution using a mechanical homogenizer that reduced the size of SWCNT aggregations to smaller bundles. The macroscopically homogeneous dispersion was extruded into cold methanol to form fibers by gel spinning followed by a hot-drawing. The tensile strength of the well-oriented composite fibers with 0.3 wt.% SWCNTs was 2.2 GPa which is extremely high value among PVA composite fibers ever reported using a commercial grade PVA. The strength of neat PVA fibers prepared by the same procedure was 1.7 GPa. Structural analysis showed that the PVA component in the composite fibers possessed almost the same structure as that of neat PVA fibers. Hence a small amount of SWCNTs straightforward enhanced by 0.5 GPa the tensile strength of PVA fibers. The results of mechanical properties and Raman spectra for the SWCNT composites suggest the relatively good interfacial adhesion of the nanotubes and PVA that improves the load transfer from the polymer matrix to the reinforcing phase.
