The effect of the introduction of single-walled carbon nanotubes on the electrical and mechanical characteristics of the ethylene tetrafluoroethylene

Abstract

The possibility of obtaining antistatic and conductive composites based on an ethylene tetrafluoroethylene by introducing TUBALL single-wall carbon nanotubes deagglomerated in polyethylene wax has been established. The obtained antistatic composite (0.3–0.4 mass % of TUBALL nanotubes) has a set of mechanical characteristics sufficiently high for practical use as a structural material. This composite can be used in the development of products designed for use in extreme conditions in contact with chemically aggressive and flammable substances.
