Abstract The poly(epoxy-N-methylaniline) conductive organic carrier was used as the bonding phase of the low-temperature conductive silver paste. Then, this was mixed with different proportions of silver powder to prepare the lowtemperature conductive silver paste. Afterwards, the effect of the conductive organic carrier on the properties of the low-temperature conductive silver paste was determined by IR, DMA and SEM. The results revealed that the prepared conductive paste has good conductivity, film-forming performance, printing performance, low-temperature curing performance, and anti-aging performance. When the mass percentage of the bonding phase/conductive phase was 40/60, the lowest volume resistivity of the conductive silver paste was… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract A series of composites based on polypropylene with different loadings of nickel-coated cellulose fi bres (NCCF) were fabricated with the aim to create a composite suitable for EMI shielding and/or electrostatic discharge application. Various properties such as EMI shielding effectiveness, surface resistivity, volume resistivity and fl exural strength were characterised according to ASTM standard. Both surface and volume resistivity suggested that the electrical conductivity of NCCF was not high enough and the composite remains electrically non-conducting up to 40 wt% loading of NCCF. However, nickel particles were still able to shield electromagnetic radiation regardless of their connectivity and conductivity. This… More >
