Enhancement of electrical, thermal and mechanical properties of carbon nanotube additive Se_(85)Te_(10)Ag_5 glassy composites

摘要

The effect of carbon nano tube (CNT) additive on Se_(85)Te_(10)Ag_5 glass has been investigated in regard to the electrical and thermo-physical properties as well as mechanical behaviour. The current versus voltage (Ⅰ-Ⅴ) measurement and thermo-physical properties (effective thermal conductivity and effective thermal diffusivity) as well a microhardness of [(Se_(85)Te_(10)Ag_5)_(100-X)(CNT)_X](X=0.3 and 5) glassy composites have been carried out at room temperature (R.T). The results indicate that the electrical, thermal and mechanical properties of CNT additive Se_(85)Te_(10)Ag_5 glassy composites are enhanced as compared to Se_(85)Te_(10)Ag_5 glass. The mechanism of conductivity enhancement has been given in terms of formation of percolation network of MWCNT in glassy alloy.
