The present work deals with a novel, ternary nanocomposite containing single-wall nanotubes (SWNTs), cellulose, and melamine-formaldehyde (MF). Thin sheets are assembled from alfa-cellulose papers, on which SWNT/MF has been deposited in liquid form, and next hot pressed without venting. The material is transparent/tinted. Dispersion/morphology was characterised by means of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) on ultramicrotome slices cut across a moulded sheet. Isolated thin bundles/ nanotubes are found. They are oriented off the slice plane. TEM images of such cross-sections are presented. In-plane nanotubes are also present. The discussed SWNT/cellulose/MF nanocomposite is being developed towards multifunctional coatings.
