In properties of physical size, performance improvement, and production cost, carbon nanofiber (CNF) lies in a spectrum of materials bounded by carbon black, fullerenes, and single wall to multi-wall carbon nanotubes on one end and continuous carbon fiber on the other. Results show promise for use of CNF for modified electrical conductivity of polymer composites. Current compounding efforts focus on techniques for nanofiber dispersion designed to retain nanofiber length, including de-bulking methods and low shear melt processing. Heat treatment of CNF as a postproduction process has also been evaluated for its influence on electrical properties of CNF-reinforced polymer composites. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
