Effect of Radiation on the Electrical Properties of PEDOT-Based Nanocomposites.

Systematic evaluation of the influence of radiation on the electrical response of hybrid nanocomposites obtained by adding multi-walled carbon nanotubes into poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) and poly(styrenesulfonate) host matrix is presented. Variations of resistance and conductivity of nanocomposites depending on the volume fraction of nanotubes in the matrix, ionizing radiation dosage, and temperature are analyzed.
