Abstract

Recently, the conducting composites have been attracted due to their controllable conductivity, good environmental stability and potential for application in electronic devices, electrostatic charge dissipation and electromagnetic interference shielding. In this paper, the nanocomposites with varying amounts of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) viz., 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1 wt.% is incorporated in high density polyethylene (HDPE) with 20 wt.% of carbon black (CB) were prepared by the melt-mixing process. The electrical AC impedance (Z) and susceptance (B) characterization of HDPE-CB-MWNT nanocomposites were conducted with respect to filler loading, temperature, frequency and sea water ageing. The impedance decreases and the susceptance increases with increase in filler loading, frequency and temperature. Nonlinear behavior was observed in both impedance and susceptance with sea water ageing.
