Articles and devices comprising a multifunctional conductive wire having a first electrode including a first carbon nanotube composite yarn containing carbon nanotubes and secondary particles; a second electrode including a second carbon nanotube composite yarn containing carbon nanotubes and secondary particles; a first separator membrane surrounding the first electrode; a second separator membrane surrounding the second electrode; an electrolyte surrounding the first and second electrodes; a flexible insulator layer surrounding the electrolyte; and a flexible conducting layer at least partially surrounding the flexible insulator layer. Also provided are method of making and using the articles, devices, and multifunctional conductive wires herein.

Provided are continuous filament-based elongate bodies having improved durability and bending fatigue performance. The elongate bodies are formed from a plurality of fibers where at least one component fiber is a multifilament ultra-high molecular weight polyolefin fiber having a filament intrinsic viscosity (IV.sub.f) of from 15 dl/g to about 45 dl/g when measured in decalin at 135° C., wherein said at least one multifilament ultra-high molecular weight polyolefin fiber has a tenacity of at least 32 g/denier, a denier of greater than 800, and a denier per filament of greater than 2.0. The high tenacity combined with high fiber denier and high filament denier (dpf) enhances the cyclic bend over sheave (CBOS) durability when the elongate body is incorporated in a multi-fiber construction such as a rope.

A high-strength creep-resistant polyester industrial yarn and preparation method thereof are provided. The high-strength creep-resistant polyester industrial yarn is prepared by spinning, winding and coordination treatment of a modified polyester after solid-state polycondensation to increase viscosity. The condition of coordination treatment is 60-72 hours at 80-100° C. The coordination agent is AgNO.sub.3, FeCl.sub.2, CuCl.sub.2, or NiCl.sub.2. The polyester segments of the prepared high-strength creep-resistant polyester industrial yarn includes a terephthalic acid segment, an ethylene glycol segment and a 2-(4-pyridine) terephthalic acid segment, and 2-(4-pyridine) terephthalic acid segments of different polyester segments are coordinated by metal ions (Ag.sup.+, Fe.sup.2+, Cu.sup.2+ or Ni.sup.2). The molar ratio of the terephthalic acid segment to the 2-(4-pyridine) terephthalic acid segment is 1:(0.03-0.05). The N atom on the pyridine of the 2-(4-pyridine) terephthalic acid segment is involved in coordination. Metal ions are coordinated with 2-(4-pyridine) terephthalic acid to greatly reduce the creep degree of the polyester fiber.
