Abstract
A conductive polymeric composite containing in situ ultra-fine metal particles is prepared by melt blending. Incorporation of elastomeric nano-particles and carbon nanotubes hinders the coalescing of metal particles and causes a shift to the breakup direction in the breakup/coalescence equilibrium of metal particles. The prime metal particles (about 26 μm) are in situ converted into the ultra-fine metal particles (UFMP, about 932 nm). The network of carbon nanotubes has been improved due to in situ ultra-fine metal particles and the percolation threshold of the composite with 1.96 vol% UFMP is only 0.25 vol% carbon nanotubes.
