The Preparation of Carbon Nanotube/Sodium Silicate Composite Film

Article Preview

Abstract:

A novel method of preparing CNT/sodium silicate composite film is put forward. By grinding and mechanical ball milling to get a homogeneous mixture, solidifying to form composite film and then exposing the CNTs on the surface of the film with their roots still in the sodium silicate by selective etching, the composite film was fabricated. Thanks to the wettability and adhesion between CNTs and sodium silicate the mechanical property of the film is improved. And the surface morphology of it is well-distributed and controllable. Such composite film is suitable to be applied in electrochemical sensor and field emission cathode.
