The electrical resistivity of injection moulded carbon nanotube filled polymer parts is a result of the process history and the raw material. Key factors of the process are temperature and shear history of the melt. Various process parameters affect the aforementioned factors. Articles reviewed in here discuss effects of injection moulding and related processes, such as melt compounding. Furthermore, articles have been reviewed which describe the effect of shear, composition and temperature on the structure of the conductive CNT network. These effects are then related to the solidification of the part, resulting in the variation of the percolated network of CNTs. The variation of the network structure results in a variation of the electrical resistivity within the part. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
