Abstract
The advantages of segregated conductive polymer composites are greatly hampered owing to its limited preparation technology, which seriously relies on hot compression with low efficiency. The plunger type injection molding (PTIM) is employed to fabricate segregated carbon nanotubes (CNTs)/high density polyethylene (HDPE)/ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) composites in this paper, which lowers the production cycle by 45%, compared with the conventional hot compression. The morphology and conductive properties are investigated in detail. Graceful segregated conductive network and a very low percolation threshold (0.45 vol%) of the polymer composites have both been achieved. The present processing technique with short production cycle provides a fancy idea to realize segregated conductive polymer composite in mass production.
