SynopsisIn this paper, the electrical properties and the conductive mechanism of polymer-filler particles are discussed using polymer-grafted carbon black. Resistors with resistivities in the range of ca. 10-108 fi cm were made, and the resistancetemperature relationship was measured between 77 and 298" K. In this temperature range, the resistance decreased with an increase of temperature, suggesting that the electrical conduction is thermally activated. The resistance as a function of field strength was measured by a pulse method. The resistor was a resistivity of ca. 104 fi cm showed field dependence, and the change of resistance was reversible. It was found that the resistance was independent of temperature at high field strength, and tunneling conduction is predominant. On the basis of these facts, theoretical equations were derived and compared with the experimental values.
The authors have studied the electrical conduction mechanism of polymer-filler particles using polymer-grafted carbon blackIn the previous paper,' it has been demonstrated that the electrical conduction is due to thermally activated electron hopping at low field strength, while tunneling conduction is predominant at high field strength. It is also important to know the number density of charge carriers and their mobility. But, for composite materials, these values have not still been measured accurately, because conductive fillers in conductive composite materials are liable to shift one another due to electrical field or magnetic field.Conductive materials made from GC are comparatively stable even at high electrical field or high magnetic field.' In this note, we present measurements of the Hall coefficient and resistivity, from which the number density of charge carriers as well as their mobility were determined.The GC samples were prepared according to the procedure described previously. 1.2 The preparation conditions of both GC and resistors are given in Tables I and 11, respectively. The shape of samples for the Hall effect measurements is shown in Figure 1. The resistivities were measured between the point a and the point b with a digital multimeter (Takeda Riken Industrial Co., Ltd., TR 6853). To obtain the Hall voltage, a given current was flown into the sample with a electric source (Metronix Model 691 A), and, at the same time, a given magnetic field was applied at right angle to the direction of the current. Then, the Hall voltage between point c and point d was recorded.The current take off in the sample was also determined from the voltage between point a and point b using the resistance between the two points. The Hall voltages of the samples TI-T,
