Abstract

We report the microstructures and electrical properties of poly(2-cyano-1,4-phenylene terephthalamide) (cyPPTA)-based composite films including pristine multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) of 0.3-10.0 wt%, which were manufactured by ultrasonication-based solution mixing and casting techniques. FT-IR spectra of the composite films revealed the existence of specific interaction between cyPPTA and MWCNT. Accordingly, the pristine MWCNTs were found to be dispersed uniformly in the cyPPTA matrix, as confirmed by TEM images. The electrical resistivity of the composite films decreased considerably from ~1010 Ω cm to ~100 Ω cm with the increase of the MWCNT content by forming a conductive percolation threshold at ~0.525 wt%. The composite films with 3.0-10.0 wt% MWCNT contents, which have sufficiently low electrical resistivity of ~102-100 Ω cm, exhibited excellent electric heating performance by attaining high maximum temperatures and electric power efficiency under given applied voltages of 10-100 V. Since the thermal decomposition of the composite films took place at 520-600 °C under air atmosphere, cyPPTA/MWCNT composite films could be used for high performance electric heating, antistatic, and EMI shielding materials.
