  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Carbon-Containing Polymer Composites

Part of the book series: Springer Series on Polymer and Composite Materials ((SSPCM))

Abstract

Polymer composites are widely used in recent days for various applications. Carbon-based polymer composites have great attention mainly towards electrical applications. This chapter is focused on different carbon fillers and their polymer-based composites/nanocomposites. The effect of various carbon fillers on different polymer composites has been thoroughly described. The dielectric properties of carbon–polymer composites can be affected by many factors. These factors are as follows: processing condition, composite morphology, frequency, concentration, temperature, electric field, and pressure. The effects of all the above factors on dielectric properties of carbon–polymer composites have been discussed.
