Two narrow band gap conjugated polyelectrolytes (CPEs) of identical backbone structure, but different pendant charges, were used to disperse single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) in MeOH. Films of the resulting CPE:SWNT composites have electrical conductivity dependent on the SWNT loading and can b...
