The effect of loading of stainless steel fiber (SSF) and temperature on electrical resistivity of SSF/PA6 conductive polymer composites was investigated in this paper. The distribution of fibers in the composites was observed by means of scanning electron microscopy(SEM). The experimental results show that the resistivity decreases closely along with the increase of SSF loading from 0 to 12 Wt. % and temperature from 20 to 200°C. It is shown by SEM that the fibers are dispersed homogeneously in the polyamide-6 matrix.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
