Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are thought to be perfect enhancive materials for composites. Multi‐wall carbon nanotubes were directly electrospun into polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers via both traditional electrospinning and vibration‐electrospinning. The fibers obtained were examined by scanning electron microscopy and X‐ray diffraction. CNTs were aggregated heavily in the fibers obtained by traditional electrospinning while CNTs were well distributed and aligned in PAN fibers obtained by vibration‐electrospinning.
