Electrical and optical properties of nanocomposites MEH-PPV: CNT thin film/ Zulhelmi Serad

This paper investigates the electrical and optical properties of nanocomposites MEHPPV:CNT thin film with different composition ratio of CNT. CNT was prepared using palm oil as precursor and ferrocene as catalyst in the furnace of the ATOMIZER equipment. The thin film was deposited on the glass subs...
