PI–SWCNT composites were prepared by ultrasonic mixing in toluene to obtain good dispersion of the nanotubes within the polymer matrix, which was verified by atomic force microscopy.

Preliminary results show that the tensile strength and Young’s modulus of the composite are 2.8 and five times higher, respectively, than those of pure high-pressure-treated PI, and that the thermal conductivity increased 30% by adding 1 wt% SWCNTs.
