This paper demonstrated the physical properties of a layer-by-layer (LBL) assembled single-walled carbon nanotubes
(SWNTs) - polymer composite thin film. The superior mechanical and electrical properties that originate from SWNTs
were successfully incorporated into a polymeric thin film by hydrogen bonding-directed LBL assemblies. The electrical
conductivities and mechanical strength of a LBL composite are 8.5*103 S/m and 160 MPa with only 8±2wt% SWNT
loading. The combination of high electrical and mechanical properties of SWNT-polymer LBL thin films makes this
material unique, opening the way for a wide range of applications from flexible electronics to space telescopes and
biomedical implantable devices.
