The temperature–conductivity characteristics of poly(3‐hexylthiophene) (P3HT) composites filled with P3HT‐grafted indium tin oxide (ITO) particles were investigated in this work. The ITO particles were first treated with a silane coupling reagent of 3‐aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APS), and then thiop...
