ABSTRACTNew unique abilities towards solvents' vapor of electrically Conductive Polymer nanoComposites (CPCs) have made it a subject, holding the attention of research groups. The direct conversion from chemical information into an electrical signal can take advantage of existing low power microelectronics and sensing technology such as detection of toxic vapor; environmental monitoring in chemical industry and quality control in food processing, beverage and perfume industry. Conductive Polymer nanoComposite (CPC) is a heterogeneous system consisting of insulated polymer matrices and conductive nanofillers. In this paper we have investigated a new route for CNT grafting via ring opening polymerization of e-caprolactone. The influence of this treatment on chemo-electrical properties of the so-called CPC based sensor was investigated in this work.

: This presented review article is constructed to be an extensive source for polymer nanocomposite researchers covering the relation of structure with property, manufacturing techniques, and potential applications when a small number of nanosized particles are added to a host polymer matrix. The exceptional structural, mechanical, and electrical properties of polymer nanocomposites after the addition of inorganic solid nanoparticles are elucidated by the large surface area of doped nanoparticles that interact with host polymer matrices. Due to the generation of ideas, the conventional methods of preparation of polymer nanocomposites are made more interesting. Hence, this brief review presents a sketch of different synthesis techniques, characterization, applications, and safety concerns for polymer nanocomposites.

Polymer nanocomposites have been attracting attention among researchers as electrical insulating application from energy storage to power delivery. However, partial discharge has always been a predecessor to major faults and problems in this field. In addition, there are a lot more to explore as the characteristic of partial discharge in nanocomposites is not clearly understood as well as the electrical properties of the nanocomposites. By adding a few amount of weight percentage (wt%) of the nano fillers, the physical, mechanical and electrical properties of polymers can be greatly enhanced. This is due to its amazing characteristic of having large specific area as a consequential from its nano sized particle that could enhance the electrical properties of the insulator. For instance, nano fillers in nanocomposites such as silica (SiO2), alumina (Al2O3) and titania (TiO2), play big role in providing good approach to increase dielectric breakdown strength and partial discharge resistance of nanocomposites. Such polymer nanocomposites will be reviewed thoroughly in this paper based on previous experimental works and studies. This paper provides reviews from related publications from year 1997 to 2011 including the results of experimental works which have been conducted by the authors with main focus on partial discharge characteristics in polymer nanocomposites, which demonstrates that research and utilization of polymer nanocomposites has well developed from past decades and will possess a high demand in future as electrical insulating material.

ABSTRACTThe addition of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to a polymer matrix is expected to yield improvements in both mechanical and electrical properties. The focus of this paper is to give a snapshot of our current work on CNT-filled thermoplastic polymer textile fibers and the enhancement of their electrical properties. The challenge is to determine the type and size of nanotubes that are most effective for a given application, and how they should be dispersed or modified to interact with the polymer. The objective of this work is to develop an understanding of how the processing methods and properties of nanotube polymer composites are related to the geometry of the nanotubes used, their orientation, and their loading fraction. It will then be possible to design desired composite properties by controlling the relevant process variables.The research described in this paper primarily involves mesoscale simulations (dissipative particle dynamics) of packed assemblies of oriented CNTs suspended in a polymer matrix. Computer simulations have been carried out to study the effect of processing conditions, aspect ratio of CNTs and effect of electric field on electrical conductivity. The percolation threshold required to achieve an electrically conductive polymer-CNT fiber can be predicted for given set of process variables. The model predictions are compared with the predictions of classical percolation theory, and with experimental data from measurements of bulk resistivity from CNTs dispersed in thermoplastic polymers.

Diffusion Behaviour

ABSTRACTElectrically Conductive Polymer nanocomposites have attracted lots of attention in the last years, especially for their sensitivities to external solicitations, like temperature or pressure variation. This work concerns the modelling of toluene diffusion behaviour in poly(ethylene-co-ethyl acrylate) (EEA)-carbon nanoparticles (CNP) CPC. One of the main objective of our work was to control and model the physical mechanisms involved in this type of material during sorption and desorption phases in the presence of solvent vapour. Two approaches was explore, thin layer to study quick electrical response and thick layer to look after swelling effect induces by toluene. The thick layer mass measurement was compare with our diffusion model.
