英文摘要：

As one of the classical one dimensional （1D） nanoscale structures, carbon nanotubes （CNTs） possess remarkable mechanical, electrical and thermal properties. During the past years, considerable attentions have been drawn to utilizing individual CNTs as high performance engineering materials. To this end, the production of macroscopic architectures based on assembled CNTs with controlled orientation and configuration become an important step towards practical applications. Herein, we present some new developments in the production of 1D CNT fibers, two-dimensional （2D） CNT films/sheets, and three-dimensional （3D） vertically aligned CNT arrays or CNT foams, with focus concentrated on their mechanical performances, especially when these macroscale CNT assemblies are brought into polymer matrices as nanocomposites. Their potential applications are also prospected in this review.
