This thesis reports measurements of the temperature-dependent surface resistivity of multi-wall carbon nanotube doped polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) thin films. In the temperature range from 22°C to 40°C in a humidity controlled environment, it was found that the surface resistivity decreased initially but raised as the temperature continued to increase. I report surface resistivity measurements as a function of temperature of both multiwall and single-wall carbon nanotube doped PVA thin films, with comparison of the similarities and differences between the two types of film types. This research was conducted using the combined instrumentation of the KEITHLEY Model 6517 Electrometer and the KEITHLEY Model 8009 resistivity test fixture using both commercial and in-house produced organic thin films.
