Tailoring the Microstructure of Electrically Conducting PolyHIPE/Single Wall Carbon Nanotube (SWCNT) Nanocomposite Foams Using a Gemini-like Surfactant

Poly(styrene-co-divinylbenzene) nanocomposite foams with different single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) contents were synthesized using the Gemini-like anionic surfactant, sodium dioctylsulfosuccinate (DIOCT). The DIOCT-synthesized foams showed an open-cell structure as the characteristic feature of the polyHIPE foams. In addition, the electrical conductivity of DIOCT-synthesized foams demonstrated the formation of a percolative network of interconnected SWCNTs on the walls of polyHIPE foam
