Transenergo Plastics Based on Film-Type Composite Materials

Abstract

Film-type composite materials based on a polypropylene matrix and carbon nanoparticles in various forms (spherical technical carbon and anisotropic carbon nanofibers) were obtained by the melt method. Different types of relationship were found between the electric and thermal conduction and the concentration of the carbon nanofillers. It was shown that with the introduction of carbon nanofibers it is possible to obtain transenergo plastics with simultaneous electroconductive and thermoconductive characteristics. The electroconductivity of the film-type composite materials was modeled in the region of nanofiller contents at and below the threshold for flow of electric current.
