“…PS is widely used in the production of packaging, laboratory products, medical, and electronic devices due to its properties such as linear chain, low price, optical transparency, electrical, and thermal insulation. 1,[18][19][20] Solution mixing, in situ polymerization, and melt mixing are the most frequently used methods to prepare PS/CNT and PS/CM composites. 1,19 Various studies in the literature have shown that the properties of PS/CNT and PS/CM composites increase with the addition of CF.…”

In this study, we have investigated and compared electrical, optical, and mechanical properties of polystyrene thin films with added multi-walled carbon nanotube and carbon mesoporous. Surface conductivity ( σ), scattered light intensity ( I sc), and all the mechanical parameters of these composites have increased with increasing the content of carbon filler (multi-walled carbon nanotube or carbon mesoporous) in the polystyrene composites. This behavior in electrical, mechanical, and optical properties of the polystyrene/carbon fiber composites has been explained by classical and site percolation theory, respectively. The electrical percolation thresholds ( R σ) were determined to be 8.0 wt% for polystyrene/multi-walled carbon nanotube and 25.0 wt% for polystyrene/carbon mesoporous composites. The optical percolation thresholds were found to be R op = 0.8 wt.% for polystyrene/multi-walled carbon nanotube and R op = 3.0 wt.% for polystyrene/carbon mesoporous composites. For the polystyrene/carbon mesoporous composite system, it was determined that the mechanical percolation threshold occurred at lower R values than the polystyrene/multi-walled carbon nanotube composite system. The electrical ( β σ), optical ( β op), and mechanical ( β m) critical exponents have been calculated for both of the polystyrene/carbon fiber composites and obtained as compatible with used percolation theory.

“…10 Secondly, the particle content in the composite is considered to have the most important role. 11,12 The role of particles has an increasing trend as the content increases, thereby improving the properties of the composite. However, too much particle content will reduce the relationship between the interfaces, making the particles an impurity in the composite material, greatly reducing its performance.…”

Carbon material (carbon black (CB) and carbon nanotube (CNT)-reinforced composites are being studied widely. The content of the reinforcing materials is known as the main influencing factor. However, the dispersion of the reinforcing materials is often neglected or, where it is investigated, not thoroughly evaluated. In this article, the dispersion states of carbon materials in the composite materials were quantitatively analyzed using an image processing method. Meanwhile, the reliability of the image analysis was verified through the testing results of the mechanical and rheological properties of the composites. Both CB and CNTs improved the mechanical properties of maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene (PP)/ethylene propylene diene monomer composites, wherein their dispersion was the dominant factor instead of their content. The dispersion of the easily agglomerated CNT was significantly poorer than that of CB. Therefore, CB was better in inducing the crystallization of PP.
