Conductive Organic Silicon Materials and Coatings Containing Multilayer Carbon Nanotubes

In this work, electrically conductive elastomers were obtained by modifying the organosilicon compound with carbon nanotubes (CNT) “Taunit” and “Taunit-M”. It was found that the use of CNTs with different structures had a different effect on the electrical conductivity of nanomodified composites. The maximum electrical conductivity of 6.94 × 10–9 S/cm of nanomodified composites was achieved at 30 wt. % content of CNT “Taunit”. In the case of using CNT “Taunit-M”, the maximum value of electrical conductivity of 3.06 × 10–2 S/cm was observed for the nanomodified composite containing 6 wt.%. Preliminary drying and mechanical activation of CNTs led to an increase in electrical conductivity by one order of magnitude as a whole.
