Progress on the morphological control of conductive network in conductive polymer composites and the use as electroactive multifunctional materials

A review on thermally conductive polymeric composites: classification, measurement, model and equations, mechanism and fabrication methods

“…Polymers possess light weight, high specific strength and modulus, excellent electrical insulating properties, good processability, excellent chemical stability, and low cost [1][2][3][4][5][6] and have been widely applied in the fields of electronics [7], biology [8], medicine [9], energy [10], and manufacturing industry [11], etc. Unfortunately, the intrinsic low thermally conductive coefficient (λ) and insufficient thermal stability of polymeric matrix have restricted its broader application in the areas which require good heat dissipation and low thermal expansion [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19].…”

A Review of the Recent Advances in Cyclic Butylene Terephthalate Technology and its Composites

“…Three different methods for the production of CPCs are available: melt blending, solvent blending and in situ polymerization. 227 Hence an increasing number of conductive pCBT composites can be found in literature because the very low melt viscosity of CBT is considered favourable for the dispersion of conductive fillers.…”

Strain sensing conductive polymer composites: Sensitivity and stability

“…In these strain sensors, the change of resistivity under strain is monitored to be used as a signal for environmental strain stimuli. In our previous studies 11,12 , it is suggested that the conductive network morphology and interfacial interactions between the filler and matrix play important roles in the strain sensing behavior of CPCs. Another aspect for strain sensing conductive polymer composites is their stability under long time dynamic strain.…”
