In recent years, the demand for composite materials has grown in many directions. Although polymer composites have long been classified as structural materials for purposes such as mechanical enhancement and weight savings, the need for conducting polymer composites is growing. Vapor-grown carbon nanofibers (VGCFs), used as reinforcements for thermoplastic matrices, have potential application as conducting polymers, enhancing both stiffness and thermal stability.1–4 This article discusses the processing of VGCFs from the perspective of their electrical and thermal properties, availability, and application in the electrostatic dissipative market.
