A comparative study on the electrical and mechanical behaviour of multi-walled carbon nanotube composites prepared by diluting a masterbatch with various types of polypropylenes

Abstract

Nanocomposites based on polypropylene with CNT have been prepared and characterized. The percolation threshold in the range 1.1 - 2.0 vol.% has been deternined.

Special attention has been paid to theYoung-s modulus, morphological and rheological behaviour of the composites.
