## Abstract Conductive polymer composites were prepared using vulcanized styrene–butadiene rubber as a matrix and conductive carbon black as a filler. The filler loading was varied from 10 to 60 phr. The volume resistivity was measured against the loading of the carbon black to verify the percolati

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
Three types of acrylonitrile‐butadiene‐styrene rubbers with different rubber contents were used in the preparation of PC/ABS/MWCNT composites. It was found that localization of MWCNTs changes from PC to ABS phase when rubber content of ABS varies from 5 to 60%. This is discussed by a combination of thermodynamics and kinetics. Melting sequence and high viscosity of ABS are used to explain the localization of MWCNTs in the high viscosity ABS phase. The relationship between the localization of MWCNTs and the electrical resistivity of the composite is also investigated.
