Abstract

Abstract With the aim to produce electrically conductive composites, we analysed the influence of the melt processing conditions on the electrical percolation threshold concentration in thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)/expanded graphite (EG) composites. Melt mixing and compression moulding temperature as well as rotational speed significantly affect the electrical percolation concentration. While at mixing conditions where a homogeneous composite is obtained the percolation concentration is above 4 wt.%, lower percolation concentration of
