Abstract

D.c. electrical properties of low-density polyethylene filled with stainless steel fibres have been studied at various concentrations above the percolation threshold. The volume fractions used were 2, 5 and 10% of stainless steel fibre. The volume resistivity of polyethylene varied between 6.15×107 Ω cm at 2% loading level and 3.71×105 Ωcm at 10%. Corresponding values for surface resistivity varied between 2.77×107 Ω at 2% and 3.94×104 Ω at 10%. The value of the critical exponent for percolation was estimated to be around 2.4 for volume resistivity and 3 for surface resistivity.
