ABSTRACT
The combined theoretical model of electrical conductivity of polymeric nanocomposites is offered and experimental results for the systems polyether–carbon nanotubes (CNT) are described using proposed model. The combined model takes into account contributions from a polymeric matrix, interface layers on a polymer–CNT border, direct contacts between CNT and tunneling to the general conductivity. The proposed model well describes an experiment in the wide interval of CNT concentrations and allows obtaining exhaustive information about the processes of charges transfer in the system.
KEYWORDS
percolation behavior, polymer nanocomposites, electrical conductivity, carbon nanotubes.
