Composites containing powdered zinc, and zinc/lead acetate were prepared via frontal polymerization. In the case of the acetates, elemental metal was formed in an in situ decomposition process. The local area function was used to demonstrate the distribution of fillers, and the uniformity of the area fraction for the quantitative characterization of the distribution. With the use of metal acetates, composites of uniform metal distribution can be produced, unlike in systems with metal powder, where the metal particles are enriched at the margin of the sample. It can be established that the specific direct‐current resistance significantly decreases in AA‐TGDMA composites by the addition of zinc acetate, compared to that of the initial monomer mixture. On heating, the unreacted zinc acetate decomposes further, which results in the further decrease in electrical resistance.
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.
