Thermally Conductive

In the recent years a remarkable development can be observed in the electronics. New products of electronic industry generate more and more heat. To dissipate this heat, thermally conductive polymers offer new possibilities. The goal of this work was to develop a novel polymer based material, which has a good thermal conduction. The main purpose during the development was that this material can be processed easily with injection molding. To eliminate the weaknesses of the traditional conductive composites low-melting-point alloy was applied as filler. Furthermore in this work the effect of the filler content on thermal conductivity, on structure and on mechanical properties was investigated.

Investigation of conductive polymer composites have been carried out using polypropylene (PP) and polyphenylene sulfonate (PPS) for matrix compound and graphite, carbon black and multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) for fillers. The comparison of these matrix materials with respect to the resulting electrical conductivity were investigated in depth. The effect of quantity of nanotubes and their dispersion on electrical conductivity and formability was also investigated. It has been found that PPS composites show much higher conductivity, however the high temperature needed for forming, and high viscosity in case of high filler content (50 wt% <) make the processing difficult, therefore the injection molding of the resulting material is currently not possible. Furthermore in contradiction to the literature the addition of MWCNT did not raise the conductivity significantly, therefore the focus have been kept on filler content instead.

Electromagnetic Shielding Effectiveness

Our living environment is full of diverse electronic products, making conductive polymer a popular subject for researchers. Insulating polypropylene (PP) can be improved in terms of conductivity by intermingling with electroconductive materials. Carbon black and carbon fiber are two materials that can supplement electroconductive and mechanical properties in insulating polymer materials. In this study, natural coir is first alkali-treated and then melt-blended with PP and carbon black, forming the composite. The resulting composite is tested in terms of its electromagnetic shielding effectiveness and mechanical properties. According to the results, when the amount of carbon black is 12 wt% and coir 3 wt%, the composite displays the optimum electromagnetic shielding of -23.56 dB, tensile strength of 37.07 MPa, and flexural strength of 47.21 MPa.

Electric Discharge Machining (EDM) process uses electrodes made from graphite that wear out over time and are turned into scrap. In this research, EDM electrode scraps were recycled and turned into graphite powder (rGP). This rGP was used as a conductive filler to produce conductive polymer composite (CPC) material by combining it with polypropylene (PP) resin via melt compounding and compression moulding processes. The percolation threshold of this composite material changed when 30 wt% of rGP was added, whereby the insulative material changed became antistatic. The composite was able to achieve surface resistivity as low as 105 ohm/sq. However, the addition of higher rGP content deteriorated the tensile properties of composite, whereby the tensile strength of composite significantly decreased as compared to neat PP. The results also showed that the tensile modulus of this composite became higher, and the material became more brittle as compared to neat PP. However, the PP/rGP composite with 50 wt% filler content reduced the tensile modulus due to plasticising effect caused by the agglomeration of rGP. The addition of high filler content on PP/rGP composite also caused an increase in processing torque. This was due to the restriction of rGP particles to the melt flow of molten PP. The morphological analysis found that the PP/rGP composites with higher amounts of filler content were highly agglomerated and formed conductivity paths within the PP matrix. The increase of rGP content highly improved the thermal stability of composite. The findings of this study show that the rGP has the potential to be used as a conductive filler for producing conductive composite material.

Electrical Conductivity Measurement

Conductive Polymers are one of the interesting topics to be developed in recent years. Conductive polymers can combine the properties of polymers and the electrical properties of metals. Research related to the electrical properties of conductive polymers, including electrical conductivity measurements and determination of activation energy has been carried out. This study aims to determine the effect of addition mass fraction of activated carbon into the nylon polymer on the conductive polymer material based on the electrical conductivity and activation energy. The variations of activated carbon used are 0%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10% (wt/V). The conductive polymer from nylon polymer and activated carbon is made by casting solution method. The electrical conductivity measurement of the conductive polymer and the activation energy was carried out using the parallel plate method. The value of electrical conductivity increased from 5.62×10-9 ± 1.89×10-10 S/cm for the pure nylon to 2.51×10-8 ± 2.87×10-10 S/cm for the addition of mass fraction of activated carbon 8% wt/V. Meanwhile, there was a decrease in the addition of 9% wt/V and 10% wt/V of mass fraction of activated carbon, which were 2.36×10-8 ± 3.47×10-10 S/cm and 2.28×10-8 ± 4.01×10-10 S/cm. The activation energy of conductive polymer obtained decreased with increasing in the mass fraction of the activated carbon into the nylon polymer. The activation energy for the pure nylon was 0.0189 eV and 0.0127 eV for the addition of 8% wt/V mass fraction of activated carbon. Meanwhile, there was an increase in the addition of 9% wt/V and 10% wt/V mass fractions of activated carbon of 0.0145 eV and 0.0150 eV, respectively.
