Abstract
A promising composite material based on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWN T) and a conjugated polymer, has been developed. Characterisation of these materials, by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and both Scanning Tun neling Microscopy and Spectroscopy (STM, STS) are presented. Evidence of in teraction between the SWNT and conjugated polymers is seen. Uniform coating of the nanotubes by polymer is observed.
