We study the influence of melt annealing and the presence of a block copolymer compatibilizer on the electrical properties of polypropylene carbon nanotubes (CNT) nanocomposites from the DC limit to microwave frequencies and link it to the morphological details. We show that the compatibilizer concentration controls three types of morphologies: separate CNT agglomerates, a network of well dispersed but interconnected CNT, and individualized but separate nanotubes. This explains why conductivity reaches an optimum over the whole frequency range at a low compatibilizer concentration. We model the corresponding structures by a semiquantitative schematic equivalent electrical circuit. A key outcome of the work is the understanding and control of dispersion mechanisms in order to optimize the electrical performances for efficient EMI shielding depending on the targeted frequency range.

In this paper, the electrical properties of various compacted carbon nanomaterials were investigated. Compacted carbon nanomaterials (carbon nanofibers, multi-walled carbon nanotubes) were compacted into cylindrical samples and the electrical properties were measured in a frequency range from 50 Hz to 1MHz.

A model for an equivalent electrical circuit designed for a ferrite (3C90) inductor usually used in power converters excited by a non-sinusoidal current appropriate for use in power electronics is proposed. This study, based on 3D finite element analysis, leads to significant precision advantages over 2D analysis for non-symmetric inductors. The frequency range of the analysis for the toroidal core was between 15 kHz and 1 GHz, with different levels of excitation in non-saturation and saturation status focusing on the power loss.

Experimental study of single-wall carbon nabotubes (CNT) effect on the electrical properties of polymeric composite materials based on epoxy matrix has been carried out. Direct-current (DC) as well as alternating-current (AC) electrical conductivity of nanocomposites with different CNT concentrations have been investigated in the temperature interval from 293 K to 373 K. Measurements of Seebeck coefficient confirm n-type conductivity of composite with CNTs. Percolation threshold of the composite material under study has been estimated. It has been found that addition of single-wall CNT at low concentration causes hysteresis of current-voltage characteristics and the temperature dependences of electrical conductivity as well as its anisotropy in the samples under study. No noticeable frequency dependence of the AC electrical conductivity has been found in the frequency range from 100 Hz to 300 kHz.

A carbon nanotubes (CNTs) composite and its electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (SE) were investigated. Its absorptance, reflectance and shielding effectiveness (SE) were analysed. The CNTs composite has a shielding effectiveness (SE) of more than 25 dB (>99.68%) in frequency range from 30 MHz to 5 GHz. The testing results also demonstrate that the shielding mechanism of the CNTs composite is mainly EMI absorption of electromagnitic radiation. The high SE of the CNTs composite in the study is attributed to a high aspect ratio (>3000) and good conductive network of CNTs within the composite.

Abstract In the range of 0.1–10^6 Hz, the temperature-induced transformation of the frequency dependences of the dielectric-loss tangent tanδ( f ) as well as the Cole–Cole diagrams for undoped vanadium-dioxide films are investigated. The measurements are carried out in the temperature range T = 273–373 K. It is shown that the shape of the Cole–Cole diagrams for all films depends slightly on the temperature in the specified interval, while the frequencies f _0 corresponding to the peaks of the function tanδ( f ) increase with temperature. The thermal-hysteresis loops of the frequency positions f _0( T ) of the peaks are measured. When interpreting the data of dielectric spectroscopy, a complex equivalent electrical circuit of the sample is used; it makes it possible to detect the presence of two types of grains with different electrical properties in undoped VO_2 films. The presence of two types of grains determines the features of the semiconductor–metal phase-transition mechanism in VO_2 films.

The results of measurements of the frequency dependence of the electrical impedance of the composite based on ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene modified with carbon nano-tubes in contact with an electrolyte are presented. The behavior of the active and reactive com-ponents of the impedance, dielectric constant and conductivity in the frequency range from 0.1 Hz to 120 MHz was analyzed. Equivalent electrical circuit that simulate the impedance disper-sion of the polymer composite in contact with an electrolyte were proposed. It was shown that a double electric layer appears at the boundary between the polymer composite and electrolyte lay-er, the electrophysical characteristics of which were determined.
