Abstract
The electrical conductivity of carbon nanotube–epoxy composites is investigated analytically and experimentally. The theoretical predictions of the effective electrical conductivity of carbon nanotube–epoxy composites were performed by the analytical approach based on a micromechanical model of composites. The parametric analysis carried out revealed an influence of geometrical and electrical parameters of the micromechanical model on the effective electrical conductivity of carbon nanotube–epoxy nanocomposite. The nanocomposites made from the DGEBA-based and RTM6 epoxy resins filled with different weight content of Baytubes C150P and N7000 multi-walled carbon nanotubes were prepared. The experimental values of the electrical conductivity of the nanocomposites were compared with those calculated by means of the analytical model.
