Abstract

Carbon nanotubes combined with intrinsically conducting polymers may contribute to further progress in nanoelectronics and to the development of improved electronic and optoelectronic devices. This article summarizes our work on highly functional and processable polyaniline-carbon nanotube composite materials. It also demonstrates the close relation between functionality and processing behavior and describes nanotube-polymer interactions.
