摘要
Composites of high molecular weight polyaniline and carbon nanotubes are investigated for electronic device applications. Physical characterization by Thermogravimetric analysis and atomic force microscopy indicates that polyaniline containing 1% Carbon Nanotubes is suitable for organic devices. Measured electrical characteristics of Schottky diodes fabricated using these materials exhibit current levels in the polyaniline/carbon nanotube composite devices nearly an order of magnitude higher than in the polyaniline devices.
