Poly(vinylidene fluoride)(PVDF)/Multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWNT) composites were melt blended using internal mixer. The relationships between structures and physical properties of thin PVDF/MWNT composite films were studied. With increasing the content of MWNT, the size of spherulites in PVDF decreased. MWNT was used as a nucleating agent. The incorporation of MWNT produced a polar β-form crystal structure of PVDF. The permittivities of thin PVDF/MWNT composite films were increased with increasing the MWNT content. The percolation level in electrical conductivity occurred between 2 and 2.5 wt%. The critical conductivity saturation point for the electrical conductivity in PVDF was confirmed. Similar tendency was also observed in thermal conductivity.

Acid-functionalized carbon nanotube (fCNT)-poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) composite films with different CNT contents (0-0.5wt%) were prepared by melt-blending followed by compression molding. The electrical resistance (R) of the composite films under tensile loading was measured by a two-probe method using a custom made equipment connected to digital multimeter. The films (0.35 and 0.5wt% fCNT composites) showed exponential increases in R with displacement after attaining the elastic strain. Further, the change in resistance divided by resistance (ΔR/R) showed a linear increase with strain (ε). The slope of the linear region is found to be higher for 0.35wt% fCNT composite (5.4) as compared to 0.5wt% fCNT composite (3.4), indicating a better sensitivity in the former case. This may be due to less number of electrical conducting paths in case of 0.35fCNT composite. On account of the results obtained, the composites promise as potential candidates for strain sensing in health monitoring.
