Abstract:
It was found that in the region of the percolation threshold, depending on the dominance of one or another conduction mechanism, the temperature dependence of the specific volume resistivity $\rho(T)$ of the polymer composite based on a matrix of ethylene vinyl acetate is significantly transformed. With an increase in the CB content, there is a decrease by several orders of magnitude in the maximum value of the relative resistivity $\rho(T)_{\mathrm{max}}/\rho_{20}$ in its temperature dependence. Peroxide crosslinking of matrix macromolecules leads to a change in the nature of the temperature dependence of resistivity.
Keywords:polymer composites, carbon black, electrical conductivity, temperature dependence.
