- Abstract
In this work, carbon nanotubes (CNT) properties and interphase depth define the interphase conductivity in polymer CNT nanocomposites (PCNT). In addition, the operative CNT length and volume portion are linked to the conductivity transportation between CNT and insulated polymer medium to propose a simple model for conductivity. The significances of various terms on the interphase conductivity and conductivity of PCNT are justified and the model's predictions are examined using the experimental outputs of certain examples. Thin CNT and dense interphase obtain the extraordinary conductivity transportation, while CNT length and conductivity are ineffective. Moreover, thin, small, and high‐conductive CNT as well as dense interphase introduce the high interphase conductivity. The estimations of conductivity appropriately follow the experimental data authorizing the established model. This model is capable to substitute the conventional models owing to the assumption of innovative nanocomposite's terms.
