We report investigation of electrical conductivity of high resistivity polystyrene/carbon nanotube composites. The films consisted of a thiol‐bonded network of wrapped MWNTs within a polystyrene matrix with mass ratios ranging from 0% to 1%. The electrical conductivity and its thermal activation ene...
