Abstract

This paper reports the preparation and characterization of newly developed conductive nanocomposites consisting of epoxy (EP) and polyaniline-coated halloysite nanotubes (HNT-PANI). The nanocomposites achieved its electrically conductive state (10-5 S • cm-1) and improved impact strength (76 % increase compared to neat EP) with the addition of 12 wt% HNT-PANI. Such mechanically stable conductive nanocomposite could be useful in many applications such as electromagnetic interference shielding and charge dissipating material for secondary load bearing components plus the advantage of being cost effective.
