Effect of Temperature on Electrical and Thermal Properties on Carbon Soot Filled Polyester Graded Composites
This article reports the development, DC conductivity behavior of carbon soot filled polyester graded composites. Carbon soot filled polyester composites having 3wt% of carbon soot powder and polyester resin were prepared. DC conductivity measurements were conducted on the graded composites by using an electrometer in the temperature range of 28 degrees C to 150 degrees C. DC conductivity increased with increase in carbon soot concentration in the composites; DC conductivity increased with the increase in temperature. Activation energy was calculated by using Arrhenius equation for graded samples exhibited electronic conduction. Linear dependence of pre-exponential factors on activation energy for carbon soot filled polyester graded composites reveals semi-conducting behavior of the composites.
