Morphology and electrical properties of short carbon fiber-filled polymer blends: High-density polyethylene/poly(methyl methacrylate)

Abstract: Morphology and electrical properties of short carbon fiber-filled high-density polyethylene (HDPE)/poly(methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) polymer blends have been studied. The percolation threshold of HDPE50/PMMA50 blends filled with vaporgrown carbon fiber (VGCF), 1.25 phr VGCF content, is much lower than those of the individual polymers. The SEM micrographs verified that the enhancement of conductivity could be attributed to the selective location of VGCF in the HDPE phase. A double percolation is the basic require… Show more

“…Similar behavior has been reported elsewhere [21] for an equiviscous PP/PS blend. Even though the melt-state linear rheology of PMMA/LDPE blends has not been studied in depth before, the limits of co-continuity and phase inversion concentration herein reported match fairly well with the results obtained by selective solvent extraction on PMMA/HDPE blends conducted by Cheng Zhang et al [14]. The mixing time affects the domain of co-continuity, in such a way that if it is very long the co-continuity range will tend to a single composition [22].…”

“…Moreover, electrical resistivity values later shown in Figure 4A will prove that pure PMMA becomes semiconductive with addition of 2 wt.% MWCNTs whereas, at such a concentration, LDPE retains its insulating properties. Some researches claim to have found lower electrical percolation threshold for LDPE or HDPE than for PMMA [7,14]. However, in both of these studies compounding was conducted at constant temperatures (190 and 210 ºC, respectively), which is not the case in our study (220 ºC for PMMA and 180 ºC for LDPE).…”

“…On the other hand, conductive nanofiller/polymer composite materials have attracted great academic and industrial attention, as they offer high conductivity in a conventional flexible polymeric film [13][14][15][16][17], and various new materials have been developed to satisfy market needs, exhibiting for example, specific thermal [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25], mechanical [26,27], and electrochemical properties [28−36] in addition to conductivity. There are several different types of conductive nanofillers, including carbon nanotubes [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36], carbon fibers [26], metal particles [25], and conductive polymers [37,38].…”

Our aim in the present work was to solve the problems associated with the P3HT nanofiber mat as a transparent, conductive film by using the nanocomposite technique.…”
