Microphase separation assisted reduction in the percolation threshold of MWCNT/block polymer composites

Abstract

Block copolymers continue to attract a great deal of interest since they allow the formation of microphase-separated domains, useful for nanopatterning/templating. Herein, we present the drastic effect of microphase separation...

Low percolation threshold polyvinylidene fluoride/multi‐walled carbon nanotube composites: A perspective of electrical conductivity, crystalline, rheological and mechanical properties

“…29 Currently, several researchers have conducted studies aimed at reducing the percolation threshold of MWCNT. [31][32][33] Percolation behavior of electrical conduction is related to the formation of the conductive network, which is related to the dispersion of the conductive filler in the matrix. Shi et al 34 conducted a comparison of the electrical conductivity of polylactic acid (PLLA)/MWCNT and isotactic polypropylene (iPP)/MWCNT composites.…”

“…Therefore, MWCNT can be dispersed more effectively in the matrix, leading to a superior electrical conductivity of the composites 29 . Currently, several researchers have conducted studies aimed at reducing the percolation threshold of MWCNT 31–33 . Percolation behavior of electrical conduction is related to the formation of the conductive network, which is related to the dispersion of the conductive filler in the matrix.…”
