The invention discloses a method for making a carbon nano tube/polystyrene composite conductive material, which comprises the following steps of: firstly, preparing low-concentration solution of polystyrene by using a specific solvent and dispersing carbon nanotubes by using the solution of polystyrene; secondly, preparing another solution of polystyrene by using the same solvent according to the formula of the composite material, and uniformly mixing the two parts of solution; thirdly, adding a solvent, which is soluble with the solvent of the solution of polystyrene and not soluble with the polystyrene, into the mixed solution; and finally, obtaining the solid electro-conductive composite by filtering, collecting or drying. In the invention, the carbon nanotubes can be uniformly and stably dispersed by the chain winding of a polystyrene matrix material, the pi-pi interaction and the like, no auxiliary dispersing agents are added, and the post-chemical decoration dispersion is not used, so that the damages of ultrasonic treatment to the matrix are avoided, the basic structure and the performance of the matrix material are kept, and meanwhile, the purity of the composite is greatly improved. The making method of the invention has a simple operation process and obviously saves cost.
