Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Nano-composites include a graphite material such as nanotubes or graphene sheets and a partial or complete coating of a polymer including sufficient π-conjugated moieties to interact with surfaces of the graphite material. The polymers may also include electropolymerizable or oxidatively polymerizable moieties so the films may be crosslinked. The films may be used to form layers on substrates or patterned layers on substrates.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A methods for making nano-composite comprising: contacting a graphite material dispersion in a first solvent system with a polymer solution in a second solvent system, where the polymers include sufficient π-conjugatedpolymerizable pendant moieties to interact with surfaces of the graphite material to form a partially or completely polymer coated graphite material, where the polymerizable pendant moieties are selected from the group consisting of thiophene, terthiophe…
