Popis: Electrical and morphological properties of a novel composite, consisting of polypyrrole (PPy)/carbon black (CB)/carbon nanotubes (CNT), within a polyethylene (PE) matrix, are reported. The electrical properties were studied according to the type of filler (i.e. PPy, CB or CNT). The resistivity, analyzed by the Van der Pauw method, shows values in the range of (1E+15 for PE to 1.07E−01 for M15) Ω cm. The filler is distributed as one phase within the blended matrix and/or at the interface between the polymers, thus producing a highly homogeneous material. The morphology and degree of dispersion of the PPy/CB/CNTs in the PE matrix at different concentrations were investigated by scanning electron microscopy.
