Abstract

In this study, electro-polymerization was used for coating PEDOT:SDS films on CNTs, thereby producing hybrid-type electrodes. The CNTs were deposited on PET substrates using a spray method. For the fabricated hybrid electrodes, their surface morphologies, electric sheet resistances, visible transmittances, and chromatic properties were characterized as functions of the polymerization conditions used for coating PEDOT, and compared with those of conventional CNTs. The experiment results confirmed that the sheet resistance of CNTs was decreased significantly by coating of PEDOT via electropolymerization, and also indicated that the fabricated hybrid electrodes revealed desirable properties as a transparent electrode for touch screen panels.
