Abstract
The structure/electrical resistivity relationship in CB-loaded immisci ble HIPS/LLDPE blends was studied. Effects of CB content and location, dispersed polymer phase size and shape, dispersed phase viscosity, an d processing procedures were examined. The elongated dispersed phase i n CB-containing blends is essential for promoting conductivity in form ulations prepared by melt mixing and compression molding. However, the same formulations proved highly resistive when injection-molded, due to orientation and excessive shearing. (C) 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc .
