Conductive polymer materials with low filler content

Mechanical performance of styrene-butadiene-rubber filled with carbon nanoparticles prepared by mechanical mixing

“…In these studies, the structural influence of the CBs has not been taken into account, while it is well known that the final properties of CB filled rubber is highly dependent on the microstructure and specific surface area of CB aggregates [34][35][36][37][38]. Highly structured CBs (HSCBs) consist of a great number of primary particles with highly branched clusters exhibiting high surface area towards rubber macromolecules [7,39]. Such CBs are expected to offer great reinforcing efficiency with rubber.…”

Morphology of cobalt ferrite nanoparticle–polyelectrolyte multilayered nanocomposites

“…Among those, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) is very attractive since it is highly conducting, stable, and transparent to visible light. Applications such as antistatic coating, organic light emitting diodes and polymeric solar cells have been suggested to exploit its properties [17][18][19]. Attempts to prepare composites of iron oxide and PEDOT have been most performed by synthesizing the conjugated polymer in the presence of magnetic particles [20,21].…”

Structural, morphological, and electrical properties of polyaniline-Fe2O3 nanocomposites

“…From XRD, intensity versus 2θ graph it is clearly observed that the amorphous nature of PANI is decreasing and crystallinity is increasing with growth of Fe 2 O 3 content. Besides, XRD patterns of PANI-Fe 2 O 3 composites showed the prominent peaks related to 2θ = 30.07°, 35.58°, 49.41°, 56.97° and 62.15° are due to (2 0 0), (3 1 1), (5 1 1), (4 0 0) planes respec tively, which are assigned to Fe 2 O 3 related peaks [24]. Thus these sharp peaks are clearly showing that after inserting Fe 2 O 3 in PANI crystallinity is increased.…”

“…The doped conducting polymers may have electrical conductivity in the range of 0.1 to 10 4 S/cm for different polymers through redox reaction or protonation [3]. ICPs have a wide range of applications in various fields such as organic light emitting diodes [7][8][9][10], polymer/plastic solar cells [11][12][13][14], sensors [15][16][17][18], electrocatalysis [19], opto electronic devices [20], EMI shielding and electrostatic charge dissipation [21][22][23][24][25][26]. However many ICPs have poor mechanical properties, causing hindrance in their processing [27].…”
