Electrically Conductive PET/CNT Nanocomposites Fabricated by Melt Compounding and Solution Methods

In this study, PET/CNT nanocomposites were prepared in 0.05, 0.5, 1, 2, 5 and 10%w/w of CNT loading by solution method and 0.05, 0.5 and 1 %w/w of CNT loading by melt compounding. Two and four point electrical resistant meter and SEM analysis was used for electrical properties and morphological characterization of nanocomposites. The percolation threshold for melt and solution methods was observed in 1%w/w and 2%w/w, respectively. The conductivity was evaluated as 10-4 and 10-5 S/cm for melt and solution method, respectively
