In this demonstration I am going to show how I have created a conductive carbon nanotube polymer film using a gel made by mixing multi-walled carbon nanotubes with a water-based polyurethane gloss.
This conductive gel is then painted on a cellulose acetate substrate and tested for its conductive properties.
By containing the CNTs in a polymer gel and binding that gel onto a fibrous polymer surface, namely the cellulose acetate substrate, we can get a flexible, durable and safe conductive plastic material.
This may be used as a method to develop durable and lightweight frames for UAVs, aircraft and possibly spacecraft as well as assisting research in developing high density arrays of oriented carbon nanotube polymer films for use in energy storage technology.
