Synthesis and Electrical Properties of Composite Films Comprising Polymer Particles and Carbon Nanotubes
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract In the present study, composite films were synthesized from composite polymer particles prepared with multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) by in situ polymerization. Because one of the advantages of MWCNTs compared to other preparation methods is high electrical conductivity, the electrical properties of the composite films were evaluated by the direct current two-terminal method. As a result, the composite film prepared by MWCNTs had conductive paths and showed higher conductivity even at lower mass fraction of MWCNTs compared with the previous works to keep transparency. This method was shown to decrease the mass fractions of MWCNTs and increase the transparency of the composite films.
