The method of fabricating composites composed of a glass microfiber matrix and the conductive nanofibers is proposed. The nanofibers incorporating single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and an organic material are spread over the surface of glass microfibers and in some areas between microfibers are coupled together into a branched network. The contributions of intra-CNT and inter-CNT conduction mechanisms in the composites with different contents of SWCNTs are evaluated from the analysis of their impedance spectra. The crossover between two conduction mechanisms is observed at a content of SWCNTs of about 0.1 wt. %.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
