Abstract

Carbon materials, such as multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT), single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT), and graphene sheets (GNS), filling into polymer substrates can effectively improve performance of composite materials [1], [2]. The data presented here in this article illustrates the different impacts of GNS and MWCNT on the mechanical properties of polypyrrole (PPy)-based composites systems. PPy/GNS and PPy/MWCNT binary composites were added into poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly (styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT: PSS) matrix. Changing the ratio of PPy/GNS and PPy/MWCNT to PEDOT: PSS, a series of PEDOT: PSS-PPy/GNS (abbreviated as PGNS) and PEDOT: PSS-PPy/MWCNT (abbreviated as PMWCNT) ternary composites films were obtained. The synthesis process of PGNS and PMWCNT films are based on Wang et al [3].
