In this study, the development of highly flexible polymer nanocomposite sheets using multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) in a poly (dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) matrix has been presented. Solution processing technique was employed, and MWCNTs were dispersed in n-hexane, and PDMS is resulting in a homog...
