Description
Summary:The basic theoretical models of electrical conductivity of polymer nanocomposites and their accordance to experimental results are analysed for the systems based on polyethers and carbon nanotubes using the methods of mathematical simulation. It is set that models which are based on the effective medium approximation do not take into account existence of percolation threshold and can’t be using for exact definition of experimental data. It is discovered that the Fourier model demonstrats a good accordance with an experiment, however it is applicable only for the systems in which a large increase of conductivity under reaching the percolation threshold is observed, that systems with low own conductivity. It is set that the best accordance to experimental data was shown by the Kirkpatrick model and the generalized McLachlan model, which, except for the percolation threshold, structural descriptions of clusters which are formed from carbon nanotubes take into account.
