    Notes: Abstract  Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) – carbon black (CB) blends were prepared by gelation/ crystallization from PE dilute solutions containing CB particles. The UHMWPE/CB composition chosen were 1/0.15, 1/0.25, 1/0.5, 1/0.75, 1/1, 1/3, 1/5, and 1/9, etc. The cross-linking of PE chains was performed by chemical reaction of dicumyl-peroxide at 160 °C. X-ray diffraction patterns indicate that the crystallinity of PE within the blends decreased drastically through the chemical reaction at high temperature. The sample preparation method by gelation/crystallization provided the UHMWPE–CB system with various CB contents up to 90% and the conductivities for the resultant specimens were in the range from 10-9 to 1 Ω-1 cm-1 corresponding to the electric conductivity range of semiconductors. The blends assured thermal stability of electric conductivity by cross-linking of PE chains, although the mechanical property such as the storage and loss moduli were very sensitive to temperature. The conductivity of the blends with CB content ≥20% were almost independent of temperature up to 220 °C and the values in the heating and cooling processes were almost the same. On the other hand, for the UHMWPE–CB blends with 13% CB content corresponding to the critical one, temperature dependence of electric resistivity showed positive temperature coefficient (PTC) effect. The PTC intensities for non-cross-linked and cross-linked materials were lower than that of the corresponding low-molecular-weight-polyethylene (LMWPE)–CB blend but the maximum peak appeared at 160 °C which is higher than the peak temperature of LMWPE–CB blend.

    Notes: Abstract Composite materials based on ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE)–low- molecular-weight polyethylene (LMWPE) and carbon black (CB) particles were prepared by a gelation/crystallization process from dilute solution. The method was developed to obtain composite materials with an improved and reproducible positive temperature coefficient (PTC) effect. Drastic improvement of the PTC effect was achieved when specimens with a LMWPE/UHMWPE composition of 9/1 containing 13 wt% CB were treated at 170 °C without restraint before measurement. The maximum PTC intensity, defined as the ratio of the maximum resistivity to the resistivity at room temperature, was about 5 orders of magnitude, which equals that of the LMWPE-CB system prepared by a kneading method. Interestingly, electrical resistivity during the heating-cooling process showed good reproducibility in the temperature range 30–190 °C, but has never been reported before even for cross-linked LMWPE-CB compostie. Scanning electron micrographs revealed that CB particles were dispersed in the LMWPE matrix, but not on the UHMWPE fibrils. It turns out that the network structure of UHMWPE, with a very low melt index, plays an important role in removing the negative temperature coefficient effect usually observed for the LMWPE-CB system and in ensuring the quality and the reproducibility of the PTC effect.

    Notes: A prediction equation for thermal conductivity of polymer composites reported in our previous papers has been revised in terms of two view points: (1) estimation of thermal conductivity of a composite using an idea of reduced thermal conductivity; and (2) the effect of ease in forming conductive filler chains on thermal conductivity is related to the CVF value in electric conductivity of the composite. The new equation was confirmed to be adaptable to thermal conductivities of varieties of polymer composite systems filled with spherical or irregular fillers. The equation was also considered to explain thermal conductivity of polymer composites filled with fibers. Further, it was found that thermal conductivities of fiber composites can be estimated by introducing a factor of the CVF value or aspect ratio (L/D) into the new equation. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Polyethylene composites filled with various types of carbon fiber were prepared for electrical and thermal conductivity measurements. By estimation of the anisotropic parameter (Hermans' parameter), the fibers were confirmed to be significantly biaxially oriented in the composites. The critical volume fractions in the electrical conductivity of these composites for the two oriented directions (X and Y) were equal to each other and smaller than that for a direction (Z) vertical to the above. The electrical anisotropy, i.e., ratio of electrical conductivity of the composite for the Z direction to the X and Y directions varied drastically with increase in filler content. The longer the length of carbon fiber was, the higher became the electrical conductivity of the biaxially oriented carbon fiber composites for all directions. But, the thermal conductivity of the composite was almost unchanged for the Z direction, even if fiber length was sufficiently long. Our equation, previously proposed, proved adaptable to these thermal conductivities. The factors of Cp and Cf in the equation are kept unchanged, in spite of increasing fiber length. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Thermal conductivity of polyethylene composites, filled with randomly dispersed and disoriented (oriented at random) carbon fibers with various aspect ratios, were investigated. Orientation of fibers was quantitatively evaluated by Hermans' parameter. In specimens of isotropic composites, i.e., filled with randomly dispersed and disoriented fibers, thermal conductivity increased with an increase in the fiber length. The result is discussed in comparison with electric conductivity of the composites and explained by the contact probability of filled fibers. Further, it was confirmed that our model previously proposed could be adopted to predict thermal conductivity of the isotropic composite filled with carbon fibers. Also, the effect of fiber length of the C2 parameter included in the model is discussed and C2 was found to have a linear relation with the aspect ratio of fibers at a sufficiently large value. In this study, a shape factor of a filler (aspect ratio) could be directly introduced into the equation, which was shown in our previous paper.

    Notes: Thermal conductivities of two series of blends of polystyrene and styrene-ethylene/butyrene-styrene block copolymer (PS/SEBS), and polyethylene and styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene block copolymer (PE/SEBS) were measured. Here the PS part and hydrogenated polybutadiene (EB; ethylene-butene-1 copolymer) part of SEBS were confirmed to be miscible in PS and PE homopolymers, respectively, by the differential scanning calorimetry. The thermal conductivity of PS/SEBS increased, while that of PE/SEBS blends decreased monotonically, with increasing SEBS content. No significant changes in the range where microphases usually occur were noted. The thermal conductivities of PS/SEBS and PE/SEBS were explained by modifications of our equation for composites. Thermal conductivity of EB in SEBS was estimated from that of PS/SEBS blend as 4.9 × 10-4 cal/s cm °C. Further, the thermal conductivity of PE/SEBS could be predicted by substituting the obtained value of EB into the modified equation. Therefore, the modified equations were confirmed to be applicable to thermal conductivities of PE/SEBS and PE/SEBS blends. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: We measured the thermal conductivity of a polyethylene/polystyrene blend containing SEBS block copolymer, which has two components of polystyrene block and hydrogenated polybutadiene block, and discussed the effect of phase inversion on the thermal conductivity by observing the morphorogy of the blend. Further, we examined the applicability of the thermal conduction model for composites, which was proposed in our previous reports, to this blend system. By plotting the logarithm of the thermal conductivities of the blends vs. the weight content of polyethylene, it was found that the experimental data lie approximately on a straight line with an increase in polyethylene until the range of dual-phase continuity (phase inversion), and then the data move on another straight line beyond the range of dual-phase continuity. Thus, our model to explain the thermal conductivity of the polymer blend was proved. Further, both coefficients A and B in our model took linear relations with the weight content of the block copolymer, and the model was, thus, more strongly confirmed to be applicable to thermal conductivity of polymer blends.

    Notes: Polyethylene and polystyrene composites filled with high-volume content of filler particles (quartz or Al2O3) were prepared by ordinary melt-casting method to effectively increase the thermal conductivity. The result, however, suggested that fractional void volume cssentially occupied by filler particles is left unfilled when high or super-high content of filler is used. After investigating the relation between the mixing ratio of different sized filler particles and the fractional voidage under various compression intensities, a mixture of filler was found to give minimum fractional voidage. Polymers filled with such an optimum mixture of fillers for minimum fractional voidage were then prepared under compression. Thus, expected monotonous increases in thermal conductivity in the wide range from low to super-high filler content were obtained. Further, it was confirmed that a predictive model proposed by us agreed quite satisfactorily with the experimental data in comparison with many other models.

    Notes: We measured thermal conductivities as well as electric conductivities of some composites in several types of dispersion systems. The dispersion state, that is, the ease in forming conductive chains in these composites, was estimated by the characteristic electric conductivities and compared with the thermal conductivities. Thus, it became clear that thermal conductivity of a composite was significantly affected by the dispersion state in the composite. Further, it was confirmed that the predictive model proposed in the previous report was adaptable to the thermal conductivity of the composites in several types of dispersion systems. It was made clear that the dispersion state of a composite affected the values C1 and C2 in the previous model.

    Notes: Thermal and electric conductivities of polyethylene and poly(vinyl chloride) filled with carbon materials over a wide range are measured in order to study the effect of formed conductive particle chains on thermal conductivities of the composites. With increase of content of carbon particles, the amount of formed conductive chains exponentially increases and the conductive chains tend largely to increase thermal conductivity of a composite. Some models proposed to predict thermal conductivity of a composite in a two-phase system could not be applied to the system with high volume content of particles. In this study, a new thermal conduction model is proposed to correctly predict thermal conductivity of a composite which contains various amounts of particles ranging from a small content, to the region in which conductive chains largely effect a thermal conductivity of a composite. Thermal conductivity of a polymer filled with high volume content of particles largely decreased with a rise in temperature. This phenomenon can be referred to as a PTC phenomenon in thermal resistance.
