摘要：
A weak interaction between carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and polymers was found to reduce polymer-wrapping on CNT surface, decrease the contact resistance between CNTs, and increase the electrical conductivity of their composites. Thermodynamic properties such as surface energy of components, filler-polymer interactions, and wettability of carbon/polymer systems were analyzed. It was found that the graphitized CNTs filled polyoxymethylene (POM) system exhibits the weakest CNT-polymer interaction among all the investigated systems and a poor wettability. Consequently, the graphitized CNT/POM composites possess a high electrical conductivity and a low percolation threshold of 0.5 wt.% CNT loading, which is associated with the weak CNT-polymer interaction, low contact resistance between CNTs, good connectivity of CNT networks, and high crystallinity of POM in the composites. The results obtained imply that high-performance composites with optimal CNT-network structures can be designed and fabricated by fully considering the surface properties of components and CNT-polymer interactions.
