Abstract
Electrical responses of pre-percolation PEDOT:PSS polymer 30 micron thick films with incorporated single-walled carbon nanotubes were studied by means of impedance spectroscopy technique. The quantitative description of conductivity features is attempted using equivalent circuit modeling. The proposed model is applied to the experimentally investigated nanocomposite systems with different loadings of the nanofiller.
