Abstract :
Carbon nanotubes (CNT) is one of the most investigated materials before the invention of graphene.1 Due to its unique properties, CNTs have been used in various applications include sensors, solar cells, transistors, etc.2 However, it makes difficult to make nano-devices based on CNTs at a large scale. For this reason, formation of composite with conducting polymers is a good way for modification of CNT.3 In this study, CNT was modificated with poly(3-hexylthiophene) by using RF rotating plasma. The obtained modified graphene particles were characterized with FTIR, SEM-EDS, XRD and TGA methods.
