Well-dispersed single-walled carbon nanotube/polyaniline composite films

About Grafting of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes on the Oligo-N-Vinyl Carbazole and Copolymer Involving N-Vinylcarbazole and Hexylthiophene

“…It is interesting to note that in the spectral region varying from 400 to 2000 nm (Zaidi et al, 2010), the OVK/SWNTs composite's absorbance decreases gradually similarly to those of halogendoped PVK (Safoula et al, 1998). Similar effect has been also demonstrated in the case of SWNTs/Polyaniline obtained by an electro-synthesis process (Huang et al, 2003). This spectral region ( >400 nm), presents three Lorentzian line-shapes of maximum absorbance centered at 450, 943 and 1246 nm.…”

Increased response/recovery lifetimes and reinforcement of polyaniline nanofiber films using carbon nanotubes

“…CNTs have previously been combined with both bulk and nano PAni to improve its properties for a range of applications, including actuation and sensing [4,6,[30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40]. For example, Spinks et al report using CNTs to improve the tensile strength and stress loading of PAni for artificial muscles [6].…”

Fast electron transfer kinetics on novel interconnected nanospheres of graphene layers electrodes

“…2 carbon nanostructures, carbon nanospheres (CNSs) have attracted much attention because of their applications in electronic devices, catalysis, adsorbents and as anode materials in lithium-ion batteries [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. To date, most of these carbon nanospheres are hollow carbon structures composed of stacked hexagonal graphene sheets linked as rings.…”
