SEM-analysis of multiwalled carbon nanotube dispersion in epoxy polymer and determination of the constant current conductivity of the prepared composite		  pdf 

ABSTRACT

In general, the properties of carbon nanotube (CNT)-polymer composite strongly depend on the structure of the filler network. This paper deals with the epoxy dispersion of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), processing conditions and factors affecting the electrical conductivity of the epoxy CNT composite. By introducing 4% CNTs into the epoxy polymer, its electrical conductivity was investigated. SEM images of the resulting composite were obtained and the effect of different networks created inside the CNT-epoxy composite on their electrical conductivity was studied.
