Conductive Organic Silicon Materials and Coatings Containing Multilayer Carbon Nanotubes

Abstract

In this work, electrically conductive elastomers were obtained by modifying the organosilicon compound with carbon nanotubes (CNT) “Taunit” and “Taunit-M”. It was found that the use of CNTs with different structures had a different effect on the electrical conductivity of nanomodified composites. The maximum electrical conductivity of 6.94 × 10–9 S/cm of nanomodified composites was achieved at 30 wt. % content of CNT “Taunit”. In the case of using CNT “Taunit-M”, the maximum value of electrical conductivity of 3.06 × 10–2 S/cm was observed for the nanomodified composite containing 6 wt.%. Preliminary drying and mechanical activation of CNTs led to an increase in electrical conductivity by one order of magnitude as a whole.
