Title: Mechanically stiff, electrically conductive composites of polymers and carbon nanotubes

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1195929
; ; ; ; ;

Using SWNT-CA as scaffolds to fabricate stiff, highly conductive polymer (PDMS) composites. The SWNT-CA is immersing in a polymer resin to produce a SWNT-CA infiltrated with a polymer resin. The SWNT-CA infiltrated with a polymer resin is cured to produce the stiff and electrically conductive composite of carbon nanotube aerogel and polymer.
