Abstract

The effects of a surface treatment of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the electrical conductivity and the hydrophilicity of a polyaniline (PAni) coated CNTs (PAni-CNTs)/epoxy (EP) composites were examined. The surface of the CNTs was treated with various chemicals, such as acid mixtures (HNO₃:H₂SO₄), potassium persulfate (KPS) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), to improve their dispersion and reactivity with PAni. The electrical conductivity and hydrophilicity of PAni-CNTs and their EP composites were strongly affected by the surface treatment of the CNTs. The surface-treating materials remained on the surface of the CNTs affected the reactivity of the CNTs surface to PAni, and thus resulted in different PAni amounts in the PAni-CNTs. The electrical conductivity of the PAni-CNTs/EP composites decreased, but the hydrophilicity increased, with increasing the amount of PAni coating on the CNTs surface.
