Abstract

Conductive films of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)/Poly3-alkylthiophene (P3TH) composite films were prepared by in-situ polymerization of 3-alkylthiophene at the presence of soluble MWCNTs. The MWCNTs were safely obtained via a two-step process assisted by microwave radiation, which were soluble in organic media. The obtained composites were examined by FTIR. By using UV-vis analysis it was found that there are strong interactions between P3TH and functionalized MWCNT. The TEM images showed the MWCNTs were homogeneously dispersed in P3TH. In addition, the resulting MWCNT/P3TH composites showed an electrical conductivity at the level 10-3 S/cm.
