The temperature-dependent resistivity behavior of carbon black-loaded polyethylene (PE) composites irradiated both at room temperature and 170Β°C above the PE melting point was studied. The irradiation doses were varied. At a given loading level, irradiation at room temperature corresponded to an ene

Abstract
A pronounced and distinctive increase in the conductivity of polyetherimide nanocomposite films containing CNF agglomerates is reported. It is demonstrated that a variation of the CNF network can have a dramatic effect on the AC conductivity of PEI composites. The effect is found in composites containing relatively large and strongly entangled CNF agglomerates, and it is suggested that is is due to a new mechanism of electrical conduction. The observed behavior may reveal the distinctive response of electrons in strongly entangled CNF networks in polymer films to an AC field in contrast to a DC field, and could also result in a negative dielectric response.

A model describing ac superconducting composite behaviour by taking account of the boiling transition of liquid helium, used as a refrigerant, is described. A comparison of the resultant volt~mpere characteristics with the experimental values proves the validity of the model.
## Abstract Nylon 1010 composite specimens were prepared with CuO filler and short carbon fiber (CF) as the reinforcement. Friction and wear behavior of composite materials was investigated in a ringβblock wear tester. The results show that carbon fiber was more effective in reducing friction and w
