FINDINGS
: It has been shown that, applying to polymer composites the technological methods of thermal expansion, pressing, and rolling on rollers and other methods, one can, firstly, combine fillers of different nature, shapes, and sizes and, secondly, obtain composites with the required conductivity of the electrically conductive polymer composite.
: The advantages of using TEG in comparison with other forms of graphite for the production of highly conductive polymer-graphite composites, as well as the positive role of the expansion of modified graphites in the polymer matrix and the technological method of rolling for the formation of a branched structure of electrically conducting paths in the polymer matrix, are shown.
: It has been established, using the example of thermoplastic polymer-graphite composites, that the formation of conductive paths when using rolling techniques is influenced by the rheological properties of the binder.
