PSAG was highly effective for the solubilization of SCNTs in water and validated by UV-vis absorption spectra experiments, resulting in homogeneous and stable PSAG-SCNT aqueous dispersion. The microstructure of SCNTs was observed through Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. In addition, compared with the two common polymeric dispersants of Triton X-100 and PSS, PSAG demonstrated more effective performances for dispersing SCNTs under identical conditions. Furthermore, the photosensitive PSAG-SCNTs can be crosslinked after UV irradiation, leading to significant improvement in the water resistance of SCNT films. UV-cured films can be transferred to plastic wrap to form a flexible film with high electrical conductivity.展开更多

To investigate an optimal condition for homogenizing all constituents, ultrasonication with an output power of 750W was employed with compounding time of 3, 10, 20 and 30 min. With FTIR analyses, it could be confirmed that homogeneous composite of multi-walled carbon nanotubes and poly（p-phenylene） could be prepared. SEM analyses were also conducted to examine the dispersion of multi-walled carbon nanotubes in the polymer matrix. Then intrinsic electrical resistance of the composites after being exposed to toluene was also investigated. It was found that the composite film prepared with ultrasonication for 20 min could provide sufficiently sensitive response with respect to varied concentration of toluene.展开更多
