Electrical Conducting Properties of Unsaturated Polyester/Graphite Nanosheet Composite under Electric Field

Unsaturated polyester resin/Graphite nanosheet composites were prepared using in situ polymerization under AC electric field which was applied during composite curing to induce orientation of graphite nanosheets. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) has been applied to demonstrate the orientation of graphite nanosheets As a result, the percolation threshold was decreased to 0.25 wt% due to the orientation of the graphite nanosheets.
