Abstract:
1. A continuous carbon fiber comprising single-wall carbon nanotubes in substantially parallel orientation, wherein a substantial portion of the single-wall carbon nanotubes have a homogeneous characteristic selected from the group consisting of lengths, diameters, helicities and combinations thereof and having a composite structure comprising: a) a first plurality of single-wall carbon nanotubes in a first region having a first homogeneous characteristic, wherein the first homogeneous characteristic is selected from the group consisting of lengths, diameters, helicities and combinations thereof; b) a second plurality of single-wall carbon nanotubes in a second region having a second homogeneous characteristic, wherein the second homogeneous characteristic is selected from the group consisting of lengths, diameters, helicities and combinations thereof; and c) wherein
