In this research program, we will take advantage of a unique set of skill sets in a tri-institutional multi-lateral collaboration between University of Alberta, Canada, Universidad de Los Andes, Columbia and Univerisdade Federale de Sao Carlos, Brazil, to synthesize advanced hybrid materials that take advantage of intrinsically conductive polymers (ICPs), metal nanowires (MNWs) or carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to create new sensor technology, nano-circuits, catalysts, and electrically conductive thin polymer nanocomposite films. These distinctive combinations of different high aspect ratio conductive nanofillers can lead to polymer nanocomposites with improved electrical properties for applications requiring electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, electrostatic dissipation (ESD) and dimensional stability.
