RADIATION-INDUCED ALTERATIONS IN THE ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF PEDOT:PSS/CNT NANOCOMPOSITES

I. Zhydenko, Halyna Klym

Abstract


The impact of β- and γ-radiation on the electrical characteristics of nanocomposites derived from the combination of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes was investigated. The results demonstrate that the radiation dosage induces alterations in the electrical properties of these nanocomposites. An increase in the quantity of conductive nanotubes within the polymer matrix is associated with a reduction in electrical resistance and an enhancement in their responsiveness to radiation. This study establishes that radiation-induced transformations are observed in both the polymer matrix and the nanotubes.

Key words: nanocomposite, nanotube, radiation, polymer matrix, electrical properties, computer simulation.
