“…However, its relatively low conductivity for this application represents a limitation that must be overcome. One of the options retained to increase the conductivity is the addition of carbon nanotubes in the polymer matrix [19][20][21][22]. This choice (PANI/ MWCNTs) has been made, obviously, on the promise of performance enhancement, thanks to very stable properties (electrical, mechanical and thermal), but also on cost considerations compared to alternative doping solutions based on nano-particles of gold or silver.…”

New generations of printed flexible antennas are playing an important role in wireless communication systems. The ultra wide band and wearable possibilities are critical aspects of these kinds of antennas. In this study, the proposed antenna is an elliptical monopole fed by a coplanar waveguide; it uses a kapton substrate and it is optimised to work from 1 to 8 GHz. In the case of copper, a conductive nanocomposite material based on a polymer (polyaniline: PANI) and charged by multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) is exploited. The flexibility of both the kapton substrate and the nanocomposite (PANI/MWCNTs) provides the ability to crumple the antenna paving the way to potential applications for body‐worn wireless communications systems. In this study, the performance of the antenna is investigated in terms of return loss, radiation patterns and gain for both crumpled and uncrumpled antennas. The results confirm that performance remains at a good level when the antenna is crumpled.
