Are Bulk Defective Carbon Nanotubes Less Electrically Conducting?

Current−voltage measurements of various carbon nanotube−polymer composite films at room temperature as well as at liquid nitrogen temperature reveal that the composite films consisting of defective carbon nanotubes exhibit higher conductivity than do graphite carbon nanotubes. This novel finding con...

Zusammenfassung:	Current−voltage measurements of various carbon nanotube−polymer composite films at room temperature as well as at liquid nitrogen temperature reveal that the composite films consisting of defective carbon nanotubes exhibit higher conductivity than do graphite carbon nanotubes. This novel finding contradicts previous results.
