SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"This book starts with an overview of all known techniques for dispersing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in thermoplastic polymers and then concentrates on one of the most versatile techniques known nowadays, the so-called latex technology. Also discussed are the basic principles of this technology, the role of the matrix viscosity on percolation threshold, the importance of the intrinsic CNT quality, the use of 'smart' additives facilitating electron transport in the final nanocomposite, and some promising potential applications."--Back cover
