Abstract

Samples of a composite material based on polypropylene matrix and carbon fillers (carbon black and carbon nanofibers) were obtained. It was experimentally shown that the dependences of the electrical conductivity on the filler mass fraction have a threshold nature/When the mass fraction of the filler is higher than the threshold the values of the electrical conductivity increases by more than 8-10 orders. Determination of the electrical conductivity value near the percolation threshold is difficult. In the article the simulation method was proposed which considers the presence of a dielectric layer between the filler particles, presented a method for its evaluation: the percolation curve near the percolation threshold was described. A fairly good agreement between the experimental and theoretical values of conductivity for various geometries and types of fillers is shown in this work.
