Vapor grown carbon nanofiber/polymer conductive composites are excellent composite materials. Compared with traditional polymer conductive composites
they show excellent electrical properties
shielding effectiveness and thermal properties. This article firstly introduces the production and properties of vapor grown carbon nanofiber
then focuses on the factors that affect the electrical properties
shielding effectiveness and thermal properties of vapor grown carbon nanofiber/polymer conductive composites. The effects of nanofibers' dispersion
distribution
concentration and aspect ratio are elaborated. Influences of processing methods such as melt mixing
in-situ polymerization and solution processing are also reviewed. This article highlights the factors affect the electrical properties of vapor grown carbon nanofiber/polymer composite
especially the effects of processing method and processing conditions.
