Abstract
Multiwalled-carbon-nanotube (MWNT)-reinforced polymer surfaces were prepared by infiltration and in situ polymerization of excess monomer into aligned MWNT arrays (see SEM image; scale bar=1 μm). The electrical and mechanical properties of the MWNT-reinforced surface were compared with those of the pure polymer surface. The reinforced polymer films show large enhancements in surface stiffness and electrical conductivity compared to the soft and insulating pure polymer.
