Abstract

Polyaniline (PAni)-coated reduced multiwall carbon nanotubes (PRMWNTs) and carbon black (CB)-filled high-density polyethylene (HDPE) composites (PRMWNTs/CB/HDPE) were prepared through a melt mixing method. Oxidized MWNTs (OMWNTs) were prepared by treating pristine multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) with an acid mixture (HNO3:H2SO4), and PAni-coated OMWNTs (POMWNTs) were synthesized via in-situ polymerization of aniline monomer in the presence of OMWNTs. POMWNTs were further reduced using hydrazine monohydrate to obtain the PRMWNTs. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) confirmed the formation of PRMWNTs. PRMWNTs showed significantly improved thermal stability and electrical conductivity comparing to POMWNTs. The positive temperature coefficient (PTC) behavior of PRMWNTs/CB/HDPE composites revealed enhanced PTC intensity and electrical conductivity at room temperature compared to POMWNTs/CB/HDPE composites. The PRMWNTs-10/CB/HDPE composite showed high peak resistivity (301.99 MΩ-cm) and low room temperature resistivity compared to the POMWNTs/CB/HDPE composite, and thus showed the highest PTC intensity value of 6.693 as well as very excellent cyclic stability.
