Abstrakt: Linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) incorporated with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) by mistreatment casting technique. The result of various weight percentage loadings of SWCNTs on the swelling and electrical properties of LLDPE/SWCNTs nanocomposite also γ-irradiation effects had been investigated. It was found that, at low concentration, it uniformly disperses into an LLDPE matrix and provides LLDPE/SWCNTs nanocomposites with abundant improved electrical properties by nine orders of magnitude. Positive temperature coefficient of conductivity (PTCC)/negative temperature coefficient of conductivity (NTCC) was affected by the SWCNT contents. Transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscope techniques were used to investigate the dispersion of SWCNTs in the LLDPE matrix. Linear exceptional modification within direct current electrical conduction of percolative threshold-loaded LLDPE as a perform of γ-irradiation dose will be used as a nontoxic, easy, inexpensive, and sensitive method to evaluate the irradiation dose in range 10 Gy–1 kGy also can be used in fabrication of firing sensors with various ranges of temperatures.
