Spinning, structure and properties of PP/carbon black and PP/CNT composite fibres

<p>The carbon nanotubes (CNT) are attractive fillers for electroconductive polymer composites and composite fibres because of their shape, morphology, electrical and mechanical properties. Besides, the carbon black pigment (CBP) and carbon nanofibres (CNF) are similar electroconductive fillers suitable for modification of polymers. Whereas CBP belong to the most often used filler for filled polymers and for pigmenting of chemical fibres for a long year period, the CNT and CNF as nanofillers with high aspect ratio were used for development of polymer nanocomposites and fibres only in last decade.
