Abstract

A superhydrophobic and electrically conductive thin film coating with a fabricated through solvent casting of multiwalled carbon nanotubes dispersed in a conjugated block copolymer solution. The coating can be used for sensing of different volatile organic vapors with excellent selectivity. In contrast to pure conductive polymers, the nanocomposite film is completely inert toward moisture interference.
