Production and Properties of Carbon NanotubeCellulose Composite Paper

الملخص EN

Multiwalled carbon nanotube/cellulose composite papers have been prepared by mixing the cellulose with MWNT/gelatin solution and drying at room temperature.

The CNTs form an interconnected network on the cellulose paper and as a result CNT paper sheet exhibits enhanced electrical properties and thermal stabilities.

It is found that both sides of CNT paper sheet have the uniform electrical conductivities.

The sheet exhibits strong microwave absorption in the microwave range of 10.5 GHz.

The CNT/cellulose paper is as flexible and mechanically tough as the pure cellulose paper.

This work provides a novel and simple pathway to make CNT/cellulose sheet as multifunctional biomaterials for electronic, magnetic, semiconducting, and biotechnological applications.
