During the past decade or so, there have been notable advances on the development of PAT. Especially, PAT and PAT-based composites have shown great potential for their applications in</span></span><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times=""><span style="background-color:#ffffff;"> photovoltaic cells, solar cells and</span></span><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times=""><span style="background-color:#ffffff;"> anti-corrosion organic coatings.&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></span><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times=""><span style="background-color:#ffffff;">In this study, 2-aminothiazole was successfully prepared as pure polymer and as composite materials with multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs).
