Composites of polyaniline (PANI) have been prepared with pristine multiwalled and single-walled nanotubes as well as nanotubes subjected to acid treatment and subsequent reaction with thionyl chloride. The composites have been characterized by various techniques, including X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, as well as infrared and Raman spectroscopy. Electrical resistivities of the PANI-nanotube composites have been measured and compared with those of the nanotubes and PANI.
