Carbon nanotubes: enhancing the polymer building blocks for intelligent materials

Marc in het Panhuis


Electroactive polymers can be engineered at the molecular level to recognise external stimuli, they are conductive and they are capable of localised processing. These are properties which make them ideal building blocks for intelligent materials. This article investigates the suitability of carbon nanotubes for enhancing (polymer) building blocks for intelligent materials.
