Abstract
The invention concerns a composite material comprising a carbon-based material and a non-continuous film comprising a plurality of regions of a metal-based wetting material associated with the carbon-based material, the non-continuous film of the wetting material being configured to tune the carbon-based material to adhesively receive thereon a film of at least one polymeric material.

A composite in a form of a 3D object of a carbon-based material, the object being associated with a continuous film of at least one polymeric material on at least a region of its surface, the film being associated with the 3D object via a plurality of regions of a metal-based wetting material selected to tune wettability of the carbon-based material, thereby permitting association of the polymeric material with both the carbon-based material forming the object and the metal-based wetting material.
A composite material comprising a CNT mat having a non-continuous wetting film associating a film of epoxy (polyepoxide).
A CNT mat having an epoxy film on at least a region of its surface, the film being associated with the CNT mat via a non-continuous wetting film comprising a plurality of spaced-apart regions of a metal-based wetting material that are non-covalently associated with CNTs in said CNT mat.
A process for manufacturing a composite material of at least one carbon-based material and a polymer, the process comprising:
- vapor deposition of a non-continuous metal-based wetting film;
- and
- wet or melt deposition of a polymer film, optionally via deposition of a polymer melt or deposition of a polymerizable polymer precursor.
