Claims
- 1. A method for preparing an electrically conductive composite comprising the steps of:
(a) mixing carbon nanotubes with a polymer emulsion, said emulsion comprising a liquid and a polymer selected from the group consisting of polyvinylidene fluoride and copolymer of vinylidene fluoride and another monomer; and (b) removing said liquid to form a composite comprising said nanotubes and said polymer.
- 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the liquid is water.
- 3. The method of claim 1, wherein said removing step is performed by evaporating said liquid.
- 4. The method of claim 1, wherein said mixing step is performed with a high shear blender.
- 5. The method of claim 1, wherein said mixing step is performed with a Waring blender.
- 6. The method of claim 1, wherein said monomer is selected from the group consisting of hexafluoropropylene, polystyrene, polypropylene, chlorotrifluoroethylene, tetrafluoroethylene, terpolymers or olefins.
- 7. An electrically conductive composite made by the method of claim 1.
