Nanoscale. 2011 Jun;3(6):2469-71. doi: 10.1039/c1nr10302d. Epub 2011 May 17.

Abstract

We present a simple solution surface dip coating method for fabricating transparent and conductive carbon nanotube/polyvinyl butyral (CNT/PVB) composite films. This fabrication process is simple to scale production and requires only ethanol and water as solvents, which is green and environment friendly.
