Ultralow electrical percolation in melt-compounded polymer composites based on chemically expanded graphite
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract It has been difficult to construct electrical percolation networks in melt-compounded polymer composites due to shear-induced network destruction, especially for low graphene content composites. To overcome this issue, here we employ chemically expanded graphite (CEG) to construct conductive networks in which the polymer molecules would penetrate into the inner part of CEG to form a polymer entrapped in CEG structure. This novel polymer entrapped in CEG structure is very useful for the effective charge transfer and further construction of conductive networks in the process of melt compounding. The final polymer composites exhibit an ultralow electrical conductive percolation threshold of 0.29 vol% after melt compounding which is almost among the lowest level compared with those of other melt-compounded polymer composites. Besides, the thermal conductivity of the composites is also significantly enhanced. This strategy here has provided a new way to maintain the conductive networks and decrease the electrical percolation threshold in the melt-compounded polymer composites through constructing polymer entrapped in conductive fillers structure.
