US Patent 7972537 - CNT-polymer composite

http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7972537.html

This patent from Hon Hai Precision (Foxconn) teaches a variation of carbon nanotube-polymer composite useful for solar cell electrodes and supercapacitors by providing lower internal resistances. Claim 1 reads:

1. A carbon nanotube-conductive polymer composite comprising:

a plurality of carbon nanotubes which form a carbon nanotube network; and

a plurality of conductive polymer fibers adhered to the carbon nanotube network,

wherein the conductive polymer fibers are from about 100 nm to about 10 mm long and wherein the diameters of the conductive polymer fibers are from about 30 nm to about 120 nm.
