Thermal conductivity studies have been conducted on a wide range of filled polymers and composites, including carbon fibers [62-68], aluminum powder [65], nitride [66], magnetite, barite, talc, copper, strontium ferrite [67], glass fiber-filled polypropylene and manganese or iron-filled polyaniline, carbon nanotubes [68], and nickel-cobalt-zinc ferrite in natural rubber [70].

A major application is the synthesis of high molecular weight water-soluble polymers (e.g., polymers and copolymers of acrylamide, acrylic acid, and its salts) for flocculants and tertiary oil recovery. Other uses are the synthesis of polyaniline/CdSe quantum dots composites [49], hybrid polyaniline/carbon nanotube nanocomposites [50], polyani-line-montmorillonite nanocomposites [51], or in reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer-controlled radical polymerization (RAFT) [52].

Electronically conducting polymers (ECPs) such as polyaniline (PANI), polypyrrole (PPy) and po 1 y(3.4-cthy 1 cncdi oxyth iophcnc) (PEDOT) have been applied in supercapacitors, due to their excellent electrochemical properties and lower cost than other ECPs. We demonstrated that multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) prepared by catalytic decomposition of acetylene in a solid solution are very effective conductivity additives in composite materials based on ECPs. In this paper, we show that a successful application of ECPs in supercapacitor technologies could be possible only in an asymmetric configuration, i.e. with electrodes of different nature. 

Polyanilines PolyaniUnes (PANl) are another class of substances that have been studied early as potential partners to carbon nanotubes in a composite (Figure 3.88b). Materials with noncovalent bonding have normaUy been produced in doing so. They feature interesting mechanical and electronic characteristics. Meanwhile, however, covalently bound PANl-nanotube composites have been reported, too.
