Conductive polymer composites (CPCs) based on polycarbonate/multi-walled carbon nanotubes (PC/MWCNT) were fabricated by melt mixing. By selecting the PCs with different molecular weights, three kinds of PC/MWCNT composites were obtained. The CPCs containing low viscous PC (lPC) had the lowest percolation threshold (0.06 vol%) as compared to those of medium viscous PC (mPC) (0.07 vol%) and high viscous PC (hPC) (0.13 vol%), which was attributed to the best MWCNT dispersion in matrix. Light microscopy images also demonstrated that lPC/MWCNT composite had the smallest undispersed filler agglomerates than the other two corresponding PC/MWCNT composites with the same filler loading (0.25 wt%). In terms of rheological measurements, rheological percolation occurred at a lower filler content for lPC/MWCNT than
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.
