Abstract

Conventional polymers, polypropylene and polystyrene, containing carbon black as conductor additive, were prepared. Impedance complex-plane analysis is used in order to characterize the composites obtained. Microstructure studies indicate that carbon black affects the size but not the geometrical morphology. The electrical conductivity of polypropylene composites is higher than polystyrene, and is correlated to the microstructural and wettability properties of these polymer matrices.
