Carbon materials, such as carbon nanotube and graphene have remarkable electronic and mechanical properties which motivate research effort for many applications, not only electronic devices such as transistors, sensors and electrodes but also bio-integrated devices like drug delivery system and cell culture scaffolds. However, these kinds of mechanically strong materials are hard to fabricate fiber or fabric ironically because of its rigidity. The strain-driven self-folding is an advanced engineering strategy for fabricating micro- and nanotube structures of different sizes and compositions. Multicomponent assembly provides a route to unique combination of desired electronic, biological and mechanical properties that are often not available in single-component materials. Here, we fabricated macroscopic fibers of carbon materials with soft and elastic protein layers based on self-folding phenomena. This approach is promising for the development of macroscopic carbon fabrics. |
