Twist has been well identified as an effective parameter to tune the mechanical behavior of carbon nanotube (CNT) fibers, e.g., tensile strength, strain, modulus and elastic-plastic behaviors. In this contribution, we uncover the twist-induced plastic deformation and failure behaviors of CNT fibers...
