Fabrication of Ordered Porous SWNT‐Polymer Nanocomposites by Emulsion Templating

Abstract

Abstract Porous polymer films were produced from water‐in‐oil emulsion. Aqueous droplets were dispersed in PMMA/benzene solution without any emulsifier. Simple dip‐coating of the emulsion on a substrate and air‐drying led to hexagonally ordered porous thin films. Porous single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT)‐polymer composite films were prepared through the similar procedures also. The electrical conductivity of porous SWNT‐polymer composites increased with the content of SWNT.
