Dielectric properties of composite materials made of epoxy resin filled with different concentrations of goethite (Fe2O[Formula: see text] H2O) nanorods and manganese ferrite (MnFe2O4) are presented in a wide frequency range. The electrical percolation threshold in these composites is close to 30[Formula: see text]vol.%. Electrical conductivity in the composites occurs both below and above the percolation threshold due to the finite conductivity of the epoxy resin under high temperatures.

A series of polymer composites based on epoxy resin with a 5–40 vol.% concentration of goethite (Fe2O3·H2O) nanorods was produced. The electrical percolation threshold in these composites was determined as 30 vol.% of nanorods. The dielectric properties of the composites both below and above the percolation threshold were studied in a wide temperature (200 K–450 K) and frequency (from Hz to THz) ranges. The dielectric properties of composites below the percolation threshold are mainly determined by the relaxation in a pure polymer matrix. The electrical properties of composites above the percolation threshold are determined by the percolation network, which is formed by the goethite nanorods inside the polymer matrix. Due to the finite conductivity of the epoxy resin, the electrical conductivity at high temperatures occurs in the composites both above and below the percolation threshold.

The effect of annealing on the electrical and rheological properties of polymer (poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and polystyrene (PS)) composites filled with carbon black (CB) was investigated. For a composite with CB content near the electrical percolation threshold, the formation of conductive pathways during annealing has a significant impact on electrical conductivity, complex viscosity, storage modulus and loss modulus. For the annealed samples, a reduction in the electrical and rheological percolation threshold was observed. Moreover, a simple model is proposed to explain these behaviors. This finding emphasizes the differences in network formation with respect to electrical or rheological properties as both properties belong to different physical origins.

The dielectric response of oxidized multi-walled carbon nanotube / epoxy resin composites, is investigated with respect to filler content concentration, over a wide temperature and frequency range. Specimens, below the percolation threshold, exhibit similar behaviour to that of the neat epoxy. Two relaxation modes are observed in the low temperature region, attributed to the re-arrangement of small parts of the polymer chain (γ-mode) and the reorientation of polar side groups (β-mode) respectively, where in the high temperature region the evolution of the α-mode is present. Direct current (DC) conduction follows the Vogel – Tamann - Fulcher equation as expected. The dielectric response of specimens, above the percolation threshold, follows the “Random Free Energy Barrier Model”. DC conductivity exhibits Arrhenius temperature dependence with two distinct regions. The activation energies of both regions were evaluated. The contact resistance between two adjacent carbon nanotubes was also calculated. The effective dielectric constant as well as the capacitance of the specimens, above the percolation threshold, can be modulated by means of an applied DC bias voltage.
