  • Description: Multifunctional fibers have attracted widespread attention due to applications in flexible smart wearable devices. However, simultaneously obtaining a strong and functional woven fiber is still a great challenge owing to the conflict between the properties mentioned above. Herein, mechanically strong and highly conductive cellulose/carbon nanotube (CNT) composite fibers were spun using an aqueous alkaline/urea solution. The microstructure as well as physical properties of the resulting fibers were characterized via scanning electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, mechanical and electrical measurement. We demonstrated that carboxylic CNTs can be well dispersed in alkali/urea aqueous systems which also dissolved cellulose well. The subsequent wet spinning process aligned the CNTs and cellulose molecules inside the regenerated composite fiber well, enhancing the interaction between these two components and endowing the composite fiber having a 20% CNT loading with an excellent mechanical strength of 185 MPa. Benefiting from the formation of conductive paths, the composite fiber with the diameter of about 50 μm possessed an electrical conductivity value in the range of 64–1274 S/m for 5–20 wt% CNT loading. This excellent mechanical strength and high electrical conductivity enable the composite fiber to exhibit a great potential in joule heating; the heating temperature of cellulose/CNT-20 fiber reached more than 55 °C within 15 s at 9 V. In addition, the multifunctional filaments are further manufactured as a water sensor to measure humidity. This work provides a potential material that can be applied in the fields of wearable electronics and smart flexible fabrics. Graphic abstract
