Fig. 2: Scalable TE fibers of high strength and flexibility.
From: Scalable thermoelectric fibers for multifunctional textile-electronics

a Photographs of the manufactured TE fiber under natural (upper) and UV lighting (lower). b Stress-strain curves of different types of SWCNT/PVA TE fibers. Inset: photo of a single TE fibers sustaining 500 g weight. c Resistance changes of a TE fiber under continuous bending. Inset: the photos of different TE-fiber knots. d The Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity vary with different PEI and CNT weight ratios. e, f TE performances of single pure (e) p-type and (f) n-type fibers.
