ABSTRACT:
Electrical connectors comprising carbon nanotubes, at least one polymer, and a metallic electrical conductor are described. The carbon nanotubes are dispersed in the polymer to create an electrically-conducting polymer dispersion. The metallic electrical conductor contacts the electrically-conducting polymer dispersion to form the electrical connector. The electrical connectors include standard electrical connections for incorporation into standard electrical circuit applications. Methods to prepare the electrical connectors are described.
