For conductive-carbon-fiber-filled polymer composites, the residual stresses developed during injection molding process may affect not only the molding’s conductive property, but its dimensional stability as well. In order to improve the conductivity of the molding fabricated with this kind of composites, we investigated, using layer removal method, the distribution of the residual stresses of injection-molded conductive-carbon-fiber-filled polypropylene in this paper. The residual stresses were obtained under the actions of different processing conditions. Our results indicate that processing pressures have more significant effects on the residual stresses at the skin areas than the core areas of the sample because of fiber orientation. The tensile stresses of the molding at the core areas drop under the action of packing pressure, but the compressive stresses at the skin areas increase. The results reveal that the action of packing pressure may decrease the anisotropy of the residual stresses in the molding.

AbstractCarbon black-filled polymer composites were investigated as sensing materials for organic liquids. Polypropylene and polystyrene which were selected as matrices and various amounts of carbon black were considered as the main factors influencing sensitivity of the composites in view of the percolation theory. Disposable filaments were produced of these materials. Change in their electrical resistivity was measured upon immersion in benzene, toluene, xylene, ethylbenzene and their mixtures. It has been found that studied materials were sensitive to the composition of liquid mixtures of organic solvent. Relationships between the filament response and volumetric fraction of the components were presented. The studied materials have shown promising sensing properties, which suggest their applicability for identification and quantification of multicomponent organic liquids.
