Nanocomposite layers consisting of an acrylic paint and single-walled carbon
nanotubes
(~1.5 wt.%) have been investigated. The investigated samples had a disk shape with a
diameter of 20 - 30 mm and a thickness of 2 - 50 µm. After exposure in water for 350 h, the
layer mass remained almost invariable (a mass loss of ≤ 1.5%) and the layer samples exhibited
high adhesion to glass substrates and a conductivity of ~ 40 S/m. The layers consisting of the
nanotubes and acrylic paint exfoliated from the substrates for ~1 h. After heat treatment at a
temperature of 140 œC, all the layers exhibited a semiconductor-type temperature dependence of
the resistance. The prospects of using these layers in various medical products, e.g. implants for
wireless energy transmission, have been discussed.
