Formation of Carbon Nanotube Network in Conductive Polymer Nanocomposite with Foaming

Abstract: This paper presents how the formation of an electrical network is promoted by foaming in polymer/MWCNT nanocomposites. Model predictions agreed well with experiments. The results showed that the optimal void fraction is ~20%, and that the relative MWCNT length to bubble diameter affects conductivity and percolation threshold.
