Abstract

A composite made from boron-doped carbon nanotubes and polystyrene exhibits relatively low electrical resistance and minor variations in conduction when mechanically loaded. Carbon nanotubes form a network within the plastic film, thereby establishing electrical conduction uniformly throughout the composite. Individual carbon nanotubes behave as intrinsic resistors, therefore the film resistance obeys Ohm's law.
