Simultaneous measurement of rheological and conductive properties of carbon black filled ethylene–tetrafluorothylene copolymer.

The article reports on simultaneous measurement of rheological and conductive properties of carbon black filled ethylene-tetrafluorothylene copolymer. It is posed that composites composed of carbon black (CB) filled polymers have been widely used in many field such as electromagnetic/radio-frequency interference shielding, conductive adhesives for die attachment in electrostatic discharge, electroactive polymeric sensors in hand prostheses, and electrostatic discharge. It is also forwarded that the morphology and properties of filled polymer composites are greatly affected by the state of filler dispersion. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) are used in identifying the structure and morphology of fillers.
