Abstract
Polymer composites are an attractive near-term means to exploit the unique properties of single wall carbon nanotubes and graphene. This is particularly true for composites aimed at photonic and optoelectronic applications, where a number of devices have already been demonstrated. These include transparent conductors, saturable absorbers, electroluminescent and photovoltaic devices. Here, we present an overview of such composites, from solution processing of the raw materials, their sorting, characterization, to their incorporation into polymers, device fabrication and testing.
