摘要
Polyacrylamide (PAM) doped by multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT) gels were prepared with different amounts of MWNTs varying in the range between 0.1 and 15 wt%. The PAM-MWNT composite gels were characterized by the steady state fluorescence technique (SSF). The alternative electrical conductivity (AC) of PAM-MWNT composite gels was measured by the dielectric spectroscopy technique. Observations around the gel point, t(gel) for PAM-MWNTs composite gels showed that the gel fraction exponent beta obeyed the percolation result. The critical exponent r of AC electrical conductivity for the composite PAM-MWNT gel was also measured and found to be about 2.0, which agrees with a random resistor network.
