Percolation analysis of the electrical conductive network in a polymer nanocomposite by nanorod functionalization

Abstract

Chemical functionalization of nanofillers is an effective strategy to benefit the formation of the conductive network in the matrix which can enhance the electrical conductivity of polymer nanocomposites (PNCs).

Simulating of effective conductivity for graphene–polymer nanocomposites

“…The size and compactness of nets expectedly manage the efficient conductivity, for the reason that the conductive nets containing nanosheets and interphase pieces control the extent of electron shifting in nanocomposites [56][57][58] . The large nets provide the efficient transference of electrons, but the small nets weaken www.nature.com/scientificreports/ the electron moving.…”

Enhanced electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness of polypropylene/hybrid metallic fillers composite materials by coalescence-driven guided electrical percolation

“…Lebovka et al reported a two-step percolation in aggregating systems. It has been also reported that functionalization of fillers leads to a gradual breakdown of nanorods aggregation [93].…”
