TLDR
By embedding carbon nanotubes into poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) and poly(styrenesulfonate) supermolecular hydrogels in the presence of a very small amount of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), the fabrication of ultralight conducting polymer/carbon nanotube composite aerogels with the apparent density of 0.04-0.07lg/cm 3 made by supercritical CO 2 drying of as-made composite hydrogel precursors was presented in this paper.
