Abstract

AbstractSummary: The glass transition temperatures of conducting composites, obtained by blending carbon nanotubes (CNTs) or polypyrrole (PPy) particles with epoxy resin, were investigated by using both differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dynamical mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA). For both composites, dc and ac conductivity measurements revealed an electrical percolation threshold at which the glass transition temperature and mechanical modulus of the composites pass through a minimum.DC conductivity, σdc, as a function of the conducting filler concentration of the CNT– (▪) and PPy– (○) epoxy resin composites.magnified imageDC conductivity, σdc, as a function of the conducting filler concentration of the CNT– (▪) and PPy– (○) epoxy resin composites.
