Abstract
ABSTRACTHere we present new materials obtained using, either fungal or isolated tobacco cells in association with different percentages of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). As a proof of concept, we used eitherCandida albicansor a non-green Tobacco BY-2 cell line combined with multi-walled CNTs. The electrical, mechanical, and conductivity vs temperature properties for some of these materials have been determined.C. albicans-based tissues have high conductivity and are stable at elevated temperatures. By lowering the CNTs content, we obtained a stable, electrically conductive optical transparent film, though with a relatively high sheet resistance. Further, we produced, using tobacco cells, a material that exhibits good electrical as well as mechanical properties.
