Abstract

Abstract : The Spatial Confining Forced Network Assembly, SCFNA, is a promising method for the preparation of high performance electrical conductive polymer composites, CPCs, by constructing a forced assembly conductive network in the polymer matrix. Because the present mathematical models for predicting electrical conductivities of CPCs were derived based on the free assembly of a conductive network, they were not suitable for predicting the electrical conductivities of the CPCs by SCFNA. A mathematical model for predicting the electrical conductivities of CPCs prepared by SCFNA was proposed in this article by introducing a compression ratio based on experimental data of the CPCs of PP/CF fabricated by SCFNA. The proposed model showed a good agreement with the experimental data of electrical conductivities prepared by SCFNA method. POLYM. COMPOS., 40:1819–1827, 2019. © 2018 Society of Plastics Engineers
