Abstract

AC-Electrical conductivity and dielectric properties of MultiWalled Carbon Nanotube- Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene composite (MWCNT/ABS) has been investigated with MWCNT additive of different concentration percentage. The study showed that electrical conductivity σ, obeys power law with the frequency exponential factor S less than one and indicate dielectric loss, ε'' not equal to constant. At lower concentration of Carbon Nanotubes, the dielectric constant ε' and dielectric loss ε'' remain constant with increase in frequency but at high concentration, ε' and ε'' decrease with an increase in frequency of which indicated that high concentration Carbon Nanotubes play a vital role in increasing dielectric constant and dielectric loss.
