Abstract: An optically homogeneous solution/dispersion of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) in oleum has been used to form isotropic films exhibiting fibrillar morphology. Tensile modulus, strength, and strain to failure of the film are 8 GPa, 30 MPa, and 0.5%, respectively. The electrical conductivity in the plane of the film is 1 × 105 S/m.

“…386͒ and weak interactions between the bundles, the experimentally measured tensile modulus, strength and strain to failure of the NBP mats proved to be several orders of magnitude smaller 385,387 than those for individual nanotubes. Simulations demonstrated that the stiffness and tensile strength of NBP and nanotube fibers [442][443][444] can be substantially ͑several orders of magnitude͒ increased by irradiation.…”

“…Both purified SWNTs 36,37 and those assembled as a NBP [385][386][387] representing a highly interconnected network of SWNT bundles 384 were irradiated. Effects of proton irradiation on nanotubes embedded into a polymer matrix were studied as well.…”

“…26 This value, which is obtained from the conductivity of SWNT/polymer composites measured as a function of SWNT volume fraction, is comparable to those measured for SWNT mats (bucky papers). 32 The cured matrix is a capacitive insulating material with a conductivity of around 10 -14 S/ cm at 1 Hz, and while the liquid oligomer was more conductive, it still has a conductivity below 2 Â 10 À7 S/cm. 23 Using these values, b for DC or low frequency also approaches one.…”

“…So far, CNT-based films can be fabricated by various techniques such as vacuum filtration [26], drop-casting [27], spin-coating [28], airbrushing [29], Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) deposition [30] and electrophoretic method [31]. However, most of these techniques lack the ability either to control the architecture or tailor the properties and functionality of the films.…”
