Ultrathin films of pyrrole were deposited on the surfaces of carbon nanotubes using a plasma polymerization treatment. High-resolution electron transmission microscopy images revealed that an extremely thin film of the polymer layer (2 ∼ 7 nm)(2∼7nm) was uniformly deposited on the outer and inner surfaces of the nanotubes. The nanotubes of all sizes exhibited equally uniform ultrathin films, indicating well-dispersed nanotubes in the fluidized bed reactor during the plasma treatment. In particular, the inner wall of the nanotube was also coated with a uniform ultrathin film of only ∼1–3 nm. Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectroscopy experiments confirmed the highly branched and cross-linked polymer thin films on the carbon nanotubes. The plasma deposition mechanism is discussed in this letter. © 2002 American Institute of Physics
