An innovative approach for the fabrication of highly conductive nanocomposites with different carbon

  • Conference paper
Proceedings of the 36th International MATADOR Conference

Abstract

A novel approach to the preparation of a super-conductive polymeric nanocomposite system with different carbon fillers is presented. The ternary composites of polyamide 6 (PA6) and conductive carbon black (CCB) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were fabricated by a melt-mixing technique. The ternary nanocomposites with the high filler contents showed extremely higher conductivity compared with the corresponding binary polymer composites. The effects of CCB and MWCNTs at different compositions on the rheological, physical, morphological, thermal, mechanical, and electrical properties of the ternary nanocomposites have been studied systematically. A mechanism for the complementary effects of CCB and MWCNTs has been proposed.
