Abstract

AbstractElectrically conductive, cationically UV‐cured composites were prepared using exfoliated graphite plates (EGP) with cycloaliphatic epoxy resin and polyalcohol binder system. Exfoliated graphite (EG) was obtained from natural flake graphite through chemical and thermal treatment. Sonication of EG in solvent produced EGP. Characterization of graphite samples by XRD showed structural similarity between original graphite and EGP. UV curing behavior was characterized using photoDSC. Electrical resistivity measurements of the composites as a function of EGP concentration showed that at low filler concentration the binder system can influence the electrical percolation behavior. Some formulations showed electrical percolation at less than 1 vol.‐% of EGP filler. magnified image
