- Abstract
The composites composed of Poly (vinylidene fluoride), expanded graphite (EG), and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been prepared by solution mixing, followed by compression. The structure of the composites was examined with scanning electron microscope and their electrical and thermal properties were investigated. About 1.2 wt % content of CNTs could present a percolated network in the polymer matrix, characterized by the electrical conductivity. The incorporation of EG and CNTs in the polymer caused an enhancement in thermal conductivity for the composites. However, a hybrid of EG and CNTs as filler of the polymer yielded a further improvement in thermal conductivity as compared to single component filler. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.
