The graphite nanofiber (GNF) and carbon black filled high-density polyethylene (HDPE) hybrid nanocomposites were prepared by solution mixing and melt blending techniques. The effect of addition of GNF on the positive temperature coefficient (PTC) behavior of the nanocomposites was investigated. The incorporation of small amount of GNF into HDPE/CB composites showed a significant improvement in PTC intensity and repeatability of the hybrid nanocomposites. The maximum PTC intensity was observed for the HDPE/CB/GNF (80/20/0.25) nanocomposite with a relatively low room temperature resistivity.

The present study investigates the effect of the carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotube (0~3 wt %) content on the electrical and thermal properties of high density polyethylene/carbon black/carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotube (HDPE/CB/c-MWNT) hybrid nanocomposites. The room temperature electrical resistivity and positive temperature coefficient (PTC) intensity of the nanocomposites significantly improved with the addition of c-MWNT. However, the heat of fusion decreases as the amount of c-MWNT increases. Further, the microstructural parameters such as the fractional free volume (Fv) and free volume hole size (Vf) of the nanocomposites shows appreciable changes around the percolation threshold. Secondly, the PALS results seem to correlate well with the electrical and thermal properties of the composites.
