Abstract
The influence of filler loading of polyaniline (PANI) and
carbon black (CB) on the nonlinear electrical properties
as well as the mechanical properties (tensile strength
and Young's modulus) of ethylene propylene diene monomer
(EPDM) was investigated. It has been found that low field
conductivity was most sensitive to filler addition and in
particular carbon black. Threshold field for nonlinearity
onset was also influenced but the relationship between
parameter values and filler content was less clear. For
the nonlinearity coefficient, tensile strength and
Young's modulus there was no observable relation to
filler content. The study performed here show that the
polyaniline/EPDM is a composite with good possibilities
for tailoring the low field conductive properties whereas
the mechanical strength seems unaffected by the variation
of filler content
