Abstract:
A process for producing conductive composites, the process comprising the steps of soaking a polymer in an organic solvent and applying energy; soaking the polymer in a solution of conductive nano-material dispersed in an organic solvent:water mixture and applying energy, so that conductive nano-material is incorporated into the polymer structure; washing the conductive nano-material-incorporated polymer in deionized water and applying energy; and drying the washed conductive nano-material-incorporated polymer to produce the conductive composite, wherein the conductive composite incorporates conductive nano-material throughout the structure of the polymer without affecting the integrity of the properties of the polymer.
