Percolation electrical models applied to conductive polymers composites

Abstract

This paper presents the application and adjustment of electrical percolation models in conductive polymer composites. Different models have been proposed for different types of conductive fillers applied in composites preparation, such as metal powders, graphite, black carbon, carbon nanotubes and nanofibers. The discussion was carried out considering the consistency of the model on the behavior of these fillers and their influence on the electrical properties of polymer matrices.
