Chinese ink-facilitated fabrication of carbon nanotube/polyvinyl alcohol composite sheets with a high nanotube loading. Composites Part A : applied science and manufacturing, 61, 209-215. | Series/Report no.: | Composites Part A : applied science and manufacturing | Abstract: | Fabricating carbon nanotube-based composites requires high degree of dispersion of carbon nanotubes into a polymer matrix. The widely used approaches reported in open literature for such a purpose are usually complicated and high-cost. Herein, we found that Chinese ink could be used to prepare composites composed of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). The Chinese ink acted as a solvent and a dispersant. The MWCNT-ink-PVA ternary composite possessed both high flexibility and high electrical conductivity, with an optimized electrical conductivity of 8.17 S cm−1. This simple method is believed to be applicable to other nanosacle carbon materials. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/101599 http://hdl.handle.net/10220/24177 |
