This paper examines the recent advancements in the science and technology of carbon nanotube (CNT)based fibers and composites. The assessment is made according to the hierarchical structural levels of CNTs used in composites, ranging from 1-D to 2-D to 3-D. At the 1-D level, fibers composed of pure CNTs or CNTs embedded in a polymeric matrix produced by various techniques are reviewed. At the 2-D level, the focuses are on CNT-modified advanced fibers, CNT-modified interlaminar surfaces and highly oriented CNTs in planar form. At the 3-D level, we examine the mechanical and physical properties CNT/polymer composites, CNT-based damage sensing, and textile assemblies of CNTs. The opportunities and challenges in basic research at these hierarchical levels have been discussed.
