Conduction stability of high-density polyethylene/carbon black composites due to electric field action

Conduction stability of high-density polyethylene/carbon black (HDPE/CB) composites with a CB volume fraction slightly above the percolation threshold is studied in relation to electric field action at various ambient temperatures below the melting point of HDPE. It is found that resistance of the composites shows considerable changes after the electric field is switched off. Influence of irradiation crosslinking of HDPE on the conduction stability is also discussed.     

Effects of thermal volume expansion on positive temperature coefficient effect for carbon black filled polymer composites

Polymeric positive temperature coefficient (PTC) materials have been prepared by incorporating carbon black (CB) into two different polymer matrices, crystalline high density polyethylene (HDPE) and amorphous polystyrene (PS). The effects of thermal volume expansion on the electrical properties of conductive polymer composites were studied. The volume fraction of conductive particles behaves like a switch from insulator to conductor in the polymeric PTC composite. Our mathematical model and experimental model have proved that the abrupt resistivity increase at PTC transition range and at the percolation curve close to the critical volume fraction for both polymeric PTC composites have the same conductive mechanism. The thermal expansion is one of the key factors responsible for the PTC effect and can be seen by comparing the PTC transition curves from model predictions and experiment. Furthermore, the model predicts PTC curves of CB/PS composite more successfully than it does for the CB/HDPE composite, and the reasons for this are also discussed. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Relationship between electrical resistivity and particle dispersion state for carbon black filled poly (ethylene-<Emphasis Type="Italic">co</Emphasis>-vinyl acetate)/poly (<Emphasis Type="SmallCaps">L</Emphasis>-lactic acid) blend

It is known that the electrical volume resistivity of insulating polymers filled with conductive fillers suddenly decreases at a certain content of filler. This phenomenon is called percolation. Therefore, it is known that controlling resistivity in the semi-conductive region for carbon black (CB) filled composites is very difficult. When poly (ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) (EVA) is used as a matrix, the percolation curve becomes gradual because CB particles disperse well in EVA. In this study, the relationship between the dispersion state of CB particles and electrical resistivity for EVA/poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA) filled with CB composite was investigated. The apparent phase separation was seen in the SEM photograph. It was predicted that the CB particles located into the EVA phase in the light of thermodynamical consideration, which was estimated from the wetting coefficient between polymer matrix and CB particles. The total surface area per unit mass of dispersed CB particles in the polymer blend matrix was estimated from small-angle X-ray scattering and the volume resistivity decreased with increasing CB content. The values of the surface area of CB particles in CB filled EVA/PLLA (25/75 wt%) and EVA/PLLA (50/50 wt%) polymer blends showed a value similar to that of the CB filled EVA single polymer matrix. In electrical volume resistivity measurement, moreover, the slopes of percolation curves of EVA/PLLA (25/75 wt%) and EVA/PLLA (50/50 wt%) filled with CB composite are similar to that of EVA single polymer filled with CB composite. As a result, it was found that CB particles selectively locate in the EVA phase, and then the particle forms conductive networks similar to the networks in the case of EVA single polymer used as a matrix.

Reduced percolation thresholds of immiscible conductive blends

The DC conductivity of polymer blends composed of poly(ethylene‐co‐vinyl acetate) (EVA) and high density polyethylene (HDPE), where a conductive carbon black (CB) had been preferentially blended into the HDPE, were investigated to establish the percolation characteristics. The blends exhibited reduced percolation thresholds and enhanced conductivities above that of the individually carbon filled HDPE and EVA. The percolation threshold of the EVA/HDPE/CB composites was between 3.6 and 4.2 wt % carbon black, where the volume resistivity changed by 8 orders of magnitude. This threshold is at a significantly lower carbon content than the individually filled HDPE or EVA. At a carbon black loading of 4.8 wt %, the EVA/HDPE/CB composite exhibits a volume resistivity which is approximately 14 and 11 orders of magnitude lower than the HDPE/CB and EVA/CB systems, respectively, at the same level of incorporated carbon black. The dielectric response of the ternary composites, at a temperature of 23°C and frequency of 1 kHz, exhibited an abrupt increase of ca. 252% at a carbon concentration of 4.8 wt %, suggesting that the percolation threshold is somewhat higher than the range predicted from DC conductivity measurements. Percolating composites with increasing levels of carbon black exhibit significantly greater relative permittivity and dielectric loss factors, with the composite containing 6 wt % of carbon black having a value of ϵ′ ≈ 79 and ϵ″ ≈ 14. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Resistivity control in the semiconductive region for carbon-black-filled polymer composites

It is known that the electrical volume resistivity of insulating polymers filled with conductive fillers, such as metal particles and/or carbon black (CB) particles, suddenly decreases at a certain content of the filler. Therefore, it is very difficult to control the resistivity in the semiconductive region for the CB-filled composites. We examined two effects to control the electrical volume resistivity in the semiconductive region for CB-filled polymer composites. One is the effect of fluorination of the CB surface on the percolation behavior using surface-fluorinated CB particles as a filler. The other is the effect of copolymerization of polyethylene (PE) with a vinyl acetate (VA) functional group on the percolation behavior using poly(ethylene-co-VA) (EVA) as a matrix. By immersion heat measurements, it was found that the London dispersive component turned out to be the predominant factor of the surface energy of fluorinated CBs. The London dispersive component of the surface energy significantly decreased, while the polar component slightly increased on increasing the fluorine content. The resistivity of fluorinated a CB-filled low-density PE composite showed that the percolation threshold increased, and the transition from the insulating state to the conductive state became sluggish, on increasing the fluorine content. In the case of using EVA as a matrix, on the other hand, the percolation curve was moderated with the increase in the VA content. Therefore, copolymerization of PE with VA is also suitable for the design of a semiconductive polymer composite as well as for fluorination of the CB surface. The total surface area per unit mass of dispersed CB particles in the EVA matrix estimated from small-angle X-ray scattering decreased with increasing CB content. Further, the decrease in the surface area is moderated with an increase in VA content. It was found that the difference in the percolation curve is due to the difference in the dispersive state of CB particles.
