Features of flexible transparent conducting films based on polyaniline-carbon nanotube composite
Abstract
We propose a new concept in the formation of transparent conducting films based on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and polyaniline (PANI) on a flexible polyethylene naphthalate substrate. It is established that the resistance of SWNT-PANI composite films decreases to less than half as compared to pure nanotubes, while the transparency is retained. Mechanisms responsible for a change in the conductivity of composite molecular systems are discussed based on differences in the transport of charge carriers in nanotubes and the polymer with allowance for their interaction.
