Abstract

In order to create electrical conductive polydimethylsiloxane/carbon nanotubecomposites with high flexibility, it is inevitable to minimize the filler content. To hold conductivity at a minimum of CNT content, an appropriate filler dispersion has to be realized. This was achieved by applying shear forces during compounding by modifying the mixing conditions to an optimum. The electrical percolation threshold is determined to be at 0.9 wt.% of CNTs. An optimized roll mill step enabled to further increase the conductivity and lead to an orientation of CNTs. By adding a high-dispersible silica, a significant shift of the percolation threshold towards 0.5 wt.% of CNTs was observed. Adding silica amounts of ≥ 15.0 wt.% resulted in an increase in stiffness and density, which is contradicting for the application in lightweight, soft and flexible components.
