Patent ID: 8790610

Claim:
A method of forming composite materials, comprising: dispersing a conjugated material, a solvent for said conjugated material, and a plurality of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) or graphene comprising structures to form a dispersion, wherein said CNTs or said graphene comprising structures includes an outer surface, and evaporating said solvent from said dispersion to form a CNT or graphene comprising conjugated composite material, wherein said conjugated composite material comprises a plurality of at least partially crystalline supramolecular structures including at least a portion having said conjugated material non-covalently secured to said outer surface of said CNTs or said graphene comprising structures, and wherein said supramolecular structures have an average length which extends outward in a length direction from said outer surface of said CNTs or said graphene comprising structures, wherein said average length is greater than an average width of said supramolecular structures.
