Highly Hydrophobic Conducting Nanocomposites Based on a Fluoropolymer with Carbon Nanotubes

A procedure was suggested for preparing highly hydrophobic conducting coatings based on fluoropolymers with carbon nanotubes of two types: Taunit-MD and carbon nanotubes functionalized with alkyl groups. The surface resistance, contact angle, sliding angle, and surface roughness were measured; struc...

Summary:A procedure was suggested for preparing highly hydrophobic conducting coatings based on fluoropolymers with carbon nanotubes of two types: Taunit-MD and carbon nanotubes functionalized with alkyl groups. The surface resistance, contact angle, sliding angle, and surface roughness were measured; structural features of the nanocomposites were studied. The properties of the coatings obtained depend on the concentration and type of the carbon nanotubes used. Introduction of functionalized carbon nanotubes into a fluoropolymer matrix allows preparation of coatings with higher values of the sliding angle and electrical resistance. The contact angle and sliding angle depend on the surface roughness and structure in different fashions.
