The controlled deposition of polyaniline carbon nanotube composites by inkjet printing is reported. It is demonstrated that the sheet resistance and transmittance can be expressed in amount of composite and MWNT material deposited. The most efficient way for improving the sheet resistance while keeping the cost in optical transparency to a minimum is by increasing the total amount of material deposited, rather than increasing MWNT loading fraction.

The inkjet processing of water dispersable polymer carbon nanotube composite materials is reported. Single printed layers displayed good optical transparency, sheet resistance, and conductivity. It is demonstrated that an alcohol sensor based on a single printed layer of polymer carbon nanotube composite could operate at a lower voltage compared to a sensor based on a single printed layer of the polymer.
