N2 - In this study, polystyrene was mixed with toluene by ratios of 1 wt%, 2 wt%, and 3 wt% to create polystyrene solutions. CNTs-polymer composites have been fabricated by introducing polymeric material into the CNT film grown by plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD). The nanotubes act as conductive filler to the composite and resulting in increases in surface conductivities. Depending on the concentration of the polystyrene solution, the increases in conductivity varied. It is shown that the surface conductance is lower for CNT-polymer composite with higher concentrated polystyrene solution.
