Abstract
- Resistivity variations of carbon black (CB)/polypropylene (PP) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs)/PP conductive polymer composites subjected to different tensile speeds were studied with the same maximum strain 3%. With increasing tensile speed, the responsivity (ΔR/R0, R0is the original resistance, ΔR is instantaneous change in resistance) shows an obvious increase for both CPCs, although the increase degree is different. CB/PP has a higher responsivity than that of CNTs/PP during the tension and unloading process. It is proposed that the difference depends mainly on the distinction in the microstructure of conductive fillers and the interaction between the fillers and the matrix. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
