The electrical conductance of carbon nanotubes is sensitive to the chemical environment of the tubes. A large difference in the electrical conductance is observed for the carbon nanotubes in the presence of air and oxygen atmosphere. " " It is possible to tune the electrical conductance of carbon nantubes reversibly using adsorbent gas molecules. The carbon nanotubes were also used to increase the conductance of a conjugated polymer for the development of electroluminescence polymer-nanocomposites. " ...

Electroluminescent conjugated polymers can be synthesized by incorporating high electronegative heterocyclic groups, such as 1,3,4-oxadiazole, 1,3,4-thiadiazole and 1,2,4-triazole moieties. These electroluminescent polymers are obtained by polymerization of a bis-(halomethyl) aromatic monomer modified with a heterocyclic group. ...
