Poly(triarylamine) composites with carbon nanomaterials for highly transparent and conductive coatings

摘要

We report on the fabrication of transparent, conductive, mechanically robust electrode composites of poly (triarylamine) (PTAA) doped with different concentrations of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) or graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs). Additionally, the effects of nanofiller surface modification with amines were characterized by comparing the transparency, conductivity, and mechanical properties to composites with unmodified nanofillers. The optimization of the concentrations and fabrication parameters resulted in films with high transparency, improved electrical conductivity, and superior mechanical properties.
