Abstract

The non-destructive methods for achieving individual-nanotube dispersion at high loading in single-walled carbon nanotube composites were discussed. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) measurements revealed the presence of single nanotubes with one to several macromolecular coatings on the nanotube surface. Composites with loadings as high as 20 vol.-% were synthesized in the matrix while preserving near-infrared (NIR) emission. It was found that electrical and optical properties of such composites are expected to change with deformation, even below the threshold needed to strain the lattice.
