Abstract

A significant reduction in the percolation threshold of carbon-containing particles in thermoplastic composites can be achieved by distributing the functional filler not over the entire volume of the composite, but only in its part. Regulation of the forces of interaction of functional particles with each other and polymer phases, as well as polymer phases among themselves, by choosing a filler, its covalent and non-covalent modification, as well as the composition of the polymer mixture is an effective tool for obtaining thermoplastic composites with a given level of functional properties.
