[摘要]：We developed a straightforward method for enhancing the environmental stability of transparent single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) network films on plastic substrates using a rapid microwave heating to produce SWCNT film-substrate nanowelding without any chemicals. The selective heating of SWCNTs induced by microwave irradiation leads to embedding the SWCNTs in the substrate, even within 10 s, without distortion of the substrate. The SWCNTs-embedded surface of the substrate played the role of a self-passivation layer that protected the SWCNTs from water molecules. The sheet resistance values of the nanowelded films had not increased more than 10%. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics. [http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4704666]
