Prior to composite preparation, carbon nanotubes are dispersed homogeneously in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) and mixed with a PVA solution. A series of PVA/CNT films and nanofibers with various CNT compositions are prepared. Electrical conductivity and specific capacitance of spin-coated PVA/CNT films and electrospun PVA/CNT fibers increase with an increase in CNT content. Electrospun PVA/CNT nanofibers with a larger electrode surface result in a higher specific capacitance when compared with spin-coated PVA/CNT films. According to the morphology analysis, homogeneous and highly porous PVA/CNT mats containing 50-300 nm diameter nanofibers are obtained by the electrospinning process.en10.1515/polyeng-2012-0068info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccesscarbon nanotubeelectrospinningnanocompositesnanofiberspecific capacitanceArticle3206.07.2020407413Q3WOS:000313419500010Q4
