This research examines the effectiveness of a conductive polystyrene composites system that incorporates nanofillers which are graphite (Gs) and graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs), as a means of reinforcing polystyrene matrices with enhanced electrical properties. The samples were being investigated on the effect of different filler and filler concentrations. The blending of conductive polystyrene composites was carried out through a straightforward process by solution mixing method. The incorporation of the graphitic-based fillers resulted in diverse effects in the electrical conductivity and mechanical properties of the conductive polystyrene composites. The findings exhibit a correlation between the electrical properties of the conductive polystyrene composites and their respective filler loadings, which an increase in filler loadings led to an increase in electrical properties. The incorporation of 5 wt.% of filler concentration resulted in a significant enhancement of the electrical conductivity of the composites, reaching a value of 4.86 × 10−7 (Ω·cm)−1.

摘要

This research examines the effectiveness of a conductive polystyrene composites system that incorporates nanofillers which are graphite (Gs) and graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs), as a means of reinforcing polystyrene matrices with enhanced electrical properties. The samples were being investigated on the effect of different filler and filler concentrations. The blending of conductive polystyrene composites was carried out through a straightforward process by solution mixing method. The incorporation of the graphitic-based fillers resulted in diverse effects in the electrical conductivity and mechanical properties of the conductive polystyrene composites. The findings exhibit a correlation between the electrical properties of the conductive polystyrene composites and their respective filler loadings, which an increase in filler loadings led to an increase in electrical properties. The incorporation of 5 wt.% of filler concentration resulted in a significant enhancement of the electrical conductivity of the composites, reaching a value of 4.86 × 10−7 (Ω·cm)−1.
