The Bruggemann model is used in this work to predict the effective dielectric constant of two kinds of single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) polyimide nanocomposites. Electrical conductivity and dielectric constant exhibit a dramatic enhancement at low content of SWNT fillers with a percolation threshold at 0.06 vol %. Results of the Bruggemann model are compared with the experimental values of the dielectric constant in CP2/SWNT and beta CN/SWNT polyimide nanocomposites. A reasonable agreement for SWNT contents under the percolation threshold and a SWNT dielectric constant of 2000 was found between the Bruggeman model modified by Giordano and the experimental values.
