Abstract

The preparation of transparent conductive coating with excellent transparence and conductivity was necessary to self-assemble carbon nanotubes into an integrated conductive network effectively in resin media.The combination of carbon nanotubes with polymers offers an attractive route to introduce new electronic properties based on morphological modification or electronic interaction between the two components.Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)(PEDOT)/carbon nanotube composites were prepared by in situ potentiostatic deposition of PEDOT onto carbon nanotubes and characterized with TEM、FTIR and Standard four-probe method.TEM studies on the composites showed that a layer of conducting poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) capsulates the carbon nanotube.The use of standard four-probe method supports results in carbon nanotube,PEDOT and PEDOT/carbon nanotube composites with 10.4S/cm,14.3S/cm and 100S/cm.The synthesis of the nanocomposites with microscopic structure not only forges a solid basis for both the self-assembling of all kinds of nanocomposites for versatile application.
