Optically active polymer carbon nanotube composite.
A completely soluble optically active polyaniline-multiwalled carbon nanotube composite was investigated by spectroscopic and microscopic techniques. It was found that the polymer's optical activity was retained in the presence of carbon nanotubes. Solutions were found to be easily processable into thin films, which exhibited dendritic structures only in the presence of nanotubes.
