The electrical properties of carbon microcoils ͑CMCs͒/ silicone-rubber composites were studied on the changes in the values of the electrical parameters ͑impedance, phase angle, resistance, and capacitance͒ as a function of the CMC content in the matrix, using an impedance analyzer in the frequency range from 40 to 200 kHz. Percolation paths were observed at a 3 wt % CMC content in the matrix. The properties of the composites were separated at the percolation threshold. The capacitance with a small value was dominant at CMC content less than 3 wt %, and the resistance was dominant at CMC content higher than 3 wt %.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
