Securing with NanotubesConductive polymer composites (CPCs) based on carbon nanotubes have attracted much attention in the past few years. CPCs can be created by adding a critical loading of conductive filler to an insulating polymer matrix, leading to a sudden jump in conductivity. In new work by H. Deng et al., a new concept is described, based on a bi-component tape (or fibre) construction consisting of a highly oriented polymer core and a conductive polymer composite (CPC) skin based on a polymer with a lower melting temperature than the core, enabling thermal annealing of these skins to improve conductivity through a dynamic percolation process while retaining the properties of the core and hence those of the tape (or fibre).
