Abstract

In this work, the network formation of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) in comparison with multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in the in-situ biosynthesized bacterial cellulose (BC) matrix-based nanocomposite aerogels was investigated. A modified model was proposed for predicting the overall broadband dielectric properties (AC conductivity and dielectric permittivity) of BC-based nanocomposite aerogels that had a good agreement with experimental data. Broadband dielectric properties indicated higher percolation values for both BC/MWCNTs (0.7 wt%) and BC/rGO (0.9 wt%) nanocomposite aerogels in comparison to Dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) findings. Fractal dimensions of 2.6 and 1.86 were obtained for rGO and MWCNTs networks, respectively.
