摘要
The rheological analysis of epoxy pre-polymer/MWCNT dispersions indicates that a physical network is formed This is destroyed with an imposed shear, giving a viscoplastic and shear thinning behavior Such destruction is not reflected in dynamic viscoelastic experiments, due to the very rapid recovery of the MWCNT network in the pre-polymer matrix. This responds to the observed lower electrical than theological percolation threshold Electrical conductivity results fulfill electron hopping/tunnelling mechanism, which implies a tube-tube distance close to 5 nm However, theological percolation requires nanotubes should touch each other, since no polymer chains are implied in the network (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd All rights reserved
