Carbon nanotube networks : nano-engineering of SWNT networks for enhanced charge transport at ultralow nanotube loading

• Arrays of nano-engineered carbon nanotube networks embedded in nanoscale polymer structures enable highly efficient charge transport as demonstrated by D. R. Barbero and co-workers on page 3111. An increase in charge transport by several orders of magnitude is recorded at low nanotube loading compared to traditional random networks in either insulating (polystyrene) or semiconducting (polythiophene) polymers. These novel networks are expected to enhance the performance of next generation hybrid and carbon based photovoltaic devices.
