Abstract
A model rationalizing the curve of resistivity vs volume percent of a metal‐powder component in a metal/polymer composite is considered. It shows the conductivity to be directly dependent on the surface area of the conducting particles and also shows a 2/3 power dependence on their volume. Comparison with experimental results shows a good fit.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
