Abstract

Carbon nanotubes (CNT) have remarkable electrical, mechanical, thermal and optical properties. CNT-polymer composites are therefore alternative materials for applications, like flexible electrodes in displays, electronic paper, antistatic coatings. But these materials can also be used as sensors, due to their special properties. The paper describes the behavior of CNT-based thick film layers on foils due to electrical, thermal, optical, and mechanical stimuli. Possible applications as sensor materials are further described.
