Selective localization of carbon black (CB) at the interface of polymer blends was achieved by the method that poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride) (SMA) was first reacted with CB, and then blended with nylon6/polystyrene (PA6/PS). In the PA6/PS blends, CB was localized in PA6 phase and typical double percolation was exhibited. In the PA6/PS/(SMA-CB) blends, TEM results showed that CB particles were induced by SMA to localize at the interface, resulting in the especial interface morphology fabricated by SMA and CB. The especial interface morphology of PA6/PS/(SMA-CB) caused distinct triple percolation behavior and very low percolation threshold. The positive temperature coefficient (PTC) intensity of PA6/PS/(SMA-CB) composites was stronger than that of PA6/PS/CB and the negative temperature coefficient (NTC) effect was eliminated. The elimination of NTC effect was arisen from the especial interface morphology. A stronger PTC intensity was attributed to the low percolation threshold and the morphology.
