Nanoscale or Microscale Structures Formed in Polymers Containing Nanotubes Greatly Enhance the Electrical Conductivity: Potential Applications for Photovoltaic Devices
In recent years, carbon nanotubes, with high tensile strength and electrical conductivity, have been used in polymer composites to improve their mechanical and electrical properties. As a result, nanotube-polymer composites have been explored as a new class of materials. In particular, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) have outstanding charge transport and are becoming more and more …
