Problems solved by technology

When the sample composition is 30wt%PP, 65wt%PA, 5wt%CNT and 1phr compatibilizer, after 3 times drafting of the as-spun fiber obtained, although the mechanical properties of the fiber are improved, the electrical conductivity is only 10 -6 S / cm
[0008] Among the above methods for preparing CNTs / polymer composite fibers, the solution spinning method and the electrospinning method have the disadvantages of covalent modification of CNTs and complicated preparation process, and the electrospinning method is still far away from industrialization.
The melt spinning method has simple process and low cost, but the existing method needs to prepare or purchase masterbatches containing CNTs first, and has the disadvantages of low CNTs content and poor dispersibility, and the prepared composite fiber has poor electrical conductivity

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a conductive composite fiber containing carbon nanotubes and a preparation method thereof, in particular to using a polymer containing aromatic rings and nitrile groups as a dispersant so that carbon nanotubes can be uniformly dispersed in a matrix polymer , so as to prepare a method for conducting composite fibers with high carbon nanotube content. Background technique [0002] In 1991, Dr. Iijima discovered carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Due to their unique mechanical and electrical properties, they immediately became a research hotspot in the fields of chemistry, physics and material science. [0003] However, the structure of carbon nanotubes not only endows it with excellent performance, but also determines its limitations in the application process. The surface of CNTs has large π bonds, less surface defects, and lack of active groups, making the surface neither hydrophilic nor lipophilic, and it is difficult to disperse and d...
