Tese de Doutoramento em Ciências - Especialidade em FísicaThis thesis investigates the possibility to design novel composite materials by addition of carbon nanotubes to polymer matrix. Despite the extensive research in this field the problem of achieving stable electrical conduction, anticipated by early theoretical studies, still constitutes a significant challenge. One approach to circumvent this problem is apply the recently synthesized tetrakis-Schiff zinccomplexes as a guiding agents for nanotubes. The remarkable ability of such complexes to self-assemble in molecular networks, incorporating nanotubes, opens a promising possibility to achieve good conductivity at extremely low concentrations. In order to understand the scatter...
